Vanilla cupcakes with fondant decorations for the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie premier. The characters are modeled after the Potter Puppet Pals.

The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie release was just two nights ago, and my friends and I celebrated by trekking out to the theater at 11:00pm, wearing scarves in house colors and various other costume pieces, and by consuming this cupcakes that I made in honor of the great Harry Potter.
The cupcakes were actually baked a week before and frozen, but I did all of the decorating on Tuesday, which was quite a task as a) I got home at 2 in the morning the night before, b) I had to run up to Publix, a simple excursion which ended up taking an hour, c) I fell asleep somewhere in the process, and d) I had to make red AND black fondant. *shudder*
I was a little nervous putting fondant on the cupcakes; I've never done that before, but it really wasn't that hard. I brushed simple sugar on the cupcakes before I commenced decorating, but that was because I may have overbaked them slightly. I also filled the cupcakes with buttercream, because I felt they needed more icing than just the fondant. Finally, I iced a really thin layer of buttercream, and laid the fondant on top, which I cut out using a 3" cake circle and stretched out just a little bit.
The characters all all modelled after the Potter Puppet Pals , if you haven't already caught the resemblance. To be honest, I watched "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" quite a few times to make sure I had the details right. (watch it on her blog)
Who is Kelsie, you ask? She's a "17-year-old amateur cake decorator" according to her blog. How cool is that?

How adorable is that little Dumbledore?? It's hilarious how You Know Who has a happy little smile on his face.
How interesting that the Snape cupcake looks angry, but the Voldemort cupcake is having a dandy time!
