I made this cake for my girl, Nicola, who turned 16 last week. She is a Harry Potter fan and I managed to make this cake during half term without her knowing it was her cake. She thought I was making a cake for a customer. I did have to ask her not to enter the kitchen when I got round to decorating the cake.
I was determined to make a special cake for Nicola. She missed out last year when we had to be away on her birthday to attend a wedding. The look on her face when she saw the cake was priceless! I had literally just finished the cake when she came into the kitchen, and as she approached it dawned on her that this was her cake! It was a fantastic surprise for my girl! She didn't want to cut it! I love ya, Nicola :)
