His dad designed a portrait of the boy giving him Harry Potter look & style. This picture was the inspiration for the cover page of the 3D book cake.
Here is the picture of the portrait that was provided to me for the design.Next, was the 3D Magical castle which sits on top of a scenic mountain. The castle has elaborate detailed decorations. The castle is carved from a sheet cake, covered with buttercream and decorated with a combination of buttercream and fondant accents.
Here is the view of the front of the castle..
Here is a view of the back of the castle...It was all together a different challenge & an excellent experience to make someone's birthday Truly Magical.

WOW! WOW!
Patience & creativity at its best! :) Both the cakes are awesome....how long it took u to finish the cakes..? did u use edible photo print to transfer the image or some other techniques? Again, your cake creations are really beautiful and reflects your imaginative skills....

Am completely bowled over by the castle cake..Amazing detailing has been achieved... Great accomplishment Anitha!!
Thanks Mishmash & Swati for the compliments!!
Mishmash: It is not a photo print. I did just a freehand drawing of the portrait & the writing using the food colors.
Hope that helps!
