spells, potions, and birthday wishes

We celebrated my daughter's 15th birthday with a little Harry Potter magic this year. 
The blue book of spells was a white cake; the thick middle book was chocolate cake filled with whipped cream and toffee bits; and the book of potions was pumpkin spice cake. The exposed "pages" are frosted with whipped cream. The Sorting Hat was white cake iced with chocolate frosting; making the Sorting Hat was somewhat like carving a jack-o-lantern--and then frosting it.
