Hey Everyone
haven't posted in a long while. Just read the post and looked at the pictures... All them where great. I also a Harry Potter Fan. Working at a Barnes and Nobles tonight for the party and book. Cant wait to read the book. Pre-ordered it way in advance.
Enjoy the book!
cncgirl - love the broom cake and what a great way to make the hat!
I am working on the sorting hat (the House shields will go around it somehow) and the first try was a mess. I decided to wait to work on it more on Sunday after I read the book so I can take my time and do it justice!
[quote="JulesM7"]I won't be finished with my cake today - I am working all day and then must be at B&N to get armbands at 7:00, we'll go out to dinner and then go back to B&N to wait for our books!!! I will work on the actual cake after I finish the book. Anyway, I wanted to post the pic of the MMF House shields I have been working on every night this week - I am happy with them all except the Hufflepuff badger...[/quo
JulesM7 All the Shields are great love them all.
OK, here's mine... I'm actually VERY happy with how it turned out - first time using fondant, first time doing an impression on fondant, first time using airbrushing and first time using luster dust... Surprised this isn't under the disaster thread with all the new things I tried!
First the UK book cover of HP 7:
Second and third my cake:
Not perfect and a "little" cracking in the S, but it's good enough for me!

::BRAVO!::
::standing ovation::
that is one fantastic cake!!!!!
gee, thank you! Well, I NEVER would have been able to do it without your "rubber stamp" suggestion! I have LOTs of people to thank actually because someone else recommended the green piping gel for the gems too.

Melissa it turned out fantastic! I simply love it!! Some day I want to make it too! You'll have to give me any tips or tricks you came up with! hehe!

thank you! I was getting quite nervouse because quite a few people were waiting to see it. I'm sure a more experienced and less artistically challenged person could do better, but as long as I think I did the best I could and am happy with it, then that's enough for me.
Of course, anyone can "copy" (and improve) this cake, I wouldn't have been able to do it without all the help I got here!

Melissa - it looks fantastic! You did a wonderful job! The colors are excellent!
Only 8 more hours...
...I'm sure a more experienced and less artistically challenged person could do better...
Puh-lease!!! You rocked that cake! You should be feeling pretty awesome about your self right now!! I would be!
All I can say is, wow, wow, WOW!
JulesM7, those shields are amazing!
cncgirl00, you did a great job on that broom cake!
Melissa, I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor! You did an amazing job on the Slytherin locket! Fantastic!
Well, I'm almost embarrassed to post these, but I'm so sick of cake at the moment, I decided to do something completely different. I made pumpkin pasties instead:
I am happier than a fat kid at Honeydukes!!!
Honeydukes?
And is that really Daniel Radcliff as your avatar?? Wow, he's really grown up........

Honeydukes the candy store!!
And if you are speaking of MY avatar... yes, that is "Harry" himself from the most recent issue of Details magazine. I bow to Nancy's feet and smooch them for pointing out this issue. I just read all that filler stuff that they call an article, but more importantly spent a niiiiice long time staring at the pictures. He is delish!!
Oh wow - JulesM7, what can I say?!! Those badges are fantastic!!
Melissa - LOVE the Slytherin locket. It looks wonderful!! What color did you end up using for your fondant?
The broom cake is really cute, especially with the hat on top - nice touch
Pumpkin pasties - what a good idea! I love how you decorated them too to give them a little something special
There are so many great ideas on here!

I dropped off my cookies for the local HPF in town and never took a pic of them! Doh!
I prefer Snape and Lucius --YOWZER!
LOL! Y'all can have them, give me SIRIUS!!!!!

I love the locket.
I have a story for everyone that Potter fans will appreciate because only a true fan would think of the book at a time like this but everyone should know that my MIL is very concerned about her husband and isn't heartless. My FIL has a heart problem, he's had several angioplasties and they moniter him closely. This morning he got a call from his doctor telling him to get ahold of his cardiologist because some bloodwork came back off. He started having chest pain and stuff this afternoon and my MIL called to let me know that they were taking him to the hospital and she'd call when they knew what was going on. Well I've said before we live in the sticks, they transfer all heart patients out as soon as they're stable because the hospital isn't big enough for ICU so we knew that he was probably going 120 miles. She called me later and told me that they were sending him, she falls asleep on long drives so either my husband or I need to take her and she told me that if we had to go tonight we might as well wait until midnight to head home so we could get the book instead of waiting until Sunday when my husband and I were going to go. We got part way there and they called to say that the angio won't be done until 8 am so we turned around, after a couple minutes she said we should leave in time to stop at Walmart and get our books before we go to the hospital in the morning.
And my husband says I'M bad.
Y'all can have them, give me SIRIUS!!!!!
I'm not going to argue there! He is looking just fine in this movie! He's got that sexy crazy thing going on!
And Doug, thank you, I do so appreciate the public mockery. It's a nice change up from being yelled at.
AUGH- i didn't recognize melvira for a few posts! Woah!
Heheheh! Don't worry, it will go back to that durned old red shirt in a few days. This just felt appropriate for right now!
On my way (in CA) to stand in line to get my book at midnight. My poor family wont see me for days.
