In an effort to not be hella disorganized, I made a spreadsheet of all the cake responses I’ve gotten (because I’m a nerd, and that’s okay), but I’m also going to summarize them here in case there’s anything I missed (which if there is something I missed, omg please let me know - it’s not because I’m ignoring you, it’s just because I’m a dumbass and don’t know how to use the internet!). I think I’m going to aim for making 1 or 2 a week. Because I already did Draco, I’m going to do Blaise and Pansy next (because they’re my silver trio, and they’re all awesome and I love them). Then Harry, Hermione and Ron, followed by Ginny, Neville and Luna. And then I’ll round it all out with @synonym-for-life’s BOMB af Dumbledore cake (because I’ve gotta find whales that I can use somewhere). (Also I’m super fearful of tagging everyone and being a huge annoyance, so I’m just linking for now, but if you want to be tagged just let me know!)

Pansy Parkinson

femmequixotic suggested dark chocolate and pomegranate!

Blaise Zabini

@o0o-chibaken-o0o and I had a lovely conversation about chocolate, cinnamon, cayenne, bourbon, coffee, fireball and horchata!

Harry Potter

dictacontrion suggested pumpkin, salted caramel, ginger, cinnamon, toffee/treacle!

Hermione Granger

belleslettres suggested dark chocolate and whiskey or beer! and h-holy suggested tea, chocolate and almonds!

(My King) Ron Weasley

h-holy suggested carrot cake! and @o0o-chibaken-o0o suggested a muffin! and I'm so grateful she did! cheese, bacon, chives, tomatoes... literally everything

Ginny Weasley

liilyflower suggested orange and caramel!

Luna Lovegood (a popular lady)

noeon suggested orange blossom, and honey! h-holy suggested vanilla, blueberry, cranberry, walnuts, herby flavors! liilyflower suggested golden toffee! and @o0o-chibaken-o0o and I talked about elderflower and lavender!

Neville Longbottom

liilyflower suggested pistachio! and @o0o-chibaken-o0o and I talked about earthy/floral flavors, elderflower, lavender and rosemary!

Albus Dumbledore

@synonym-for-life suggested THIS AMAZING SOUNDING WHALEING/WAILING, MULTICOLORED DREAM (and dark chocolate and raspberry)!

I also have suggestions for Fleur, Krum and Cedric, but I want to get through these guys first... plus I want to see if there's a way to make lavender croissants. And I'm also keeping track of all your alternate Draco flavor profiles! AND LISTEN, THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU (especially you, bixgirl1), for playing along with me and not being like "mmk, weirdo, get outta my askbox." You have all been so amazing and creative and sweet and I'm going to make the first teleporation breakthrough in history trying to find a way to share these with you irl. (And for any of my followers that are like "wtf is going on? cake?" I KNOW AND I'M SORRY and it's gonna go back to more normal soon. I know you're like "girl, you just finished spamming me with mermaids and now you're on cake?"... hang in there with me. I loooove you.)

I asked one of my tumblr icons about this and she didn’t tell me that I sound crazy, so now that I have picked myself back up from my heart-eyed flailing 😍, I am feeling brave:

So, hear me out here... what are your Harry Potter character cupcake headcanons? I mean, if Draco (or Harry, Herimone, Ron, Luna, Ginny, Blaise, Pansy… seriously, anyone in the HP books) was a cake/cupcake, what flavor would they be?

Tell me, because I think I’m going to try to make some HP-inspired cupcakes.

Nothing is too crazy! Everything is wonderful! You think a Neville Longbottom cupcake would be a chocolate-avocado cupcake topped with oreo crumbs and edible flowers? That sounds delicious! I think so too!

So... lemme know! Put it in the tags, reblog this, leave a reply, send me an ask, hire a sky writer, send a carrier pigeon!

(P.S. - bonus points if you can tell me what flavor a drarry cupcake is!)

[serpensthesia]

randomly inspired by your baking posts? I feel like Ron would be a carrot cupcake. NOT BECAUSE OF HIS HAIR but because carrots make me think of the burrow? they're hearty, kinda simple, but delicious and sweet and comforting. And I'm also thinking about this lemon/lavender cupcake that could be really refined and elegant, maybe fleur? I'm pondering hermione now, I'll come back if I think of something. (oh and seriously, hop into my DMs, this is the coolest idea and I'd love to talk about it)

😍 Hello, friend! I *LOVE* the idea of carrot something or another for a Ron cupcake - I totally agree that they are hearty and kind of simple and they’re cheap but they are so necessary for adding flavor to things (at least most savory things - they aren’t one of the key ingredients in mirepoix for nothing, you know?) - kind of how Ron doesn’t have any of the fancy things but he (and all the Weasleys, really) just work with it and he (and all of them) add so much to the books! The fact that the cupcake would end up being orange is just a bonus! (… and carrot cake is probably my favorite type of cake because it means cream cheese frosting, so really this idea is just… perfect.)And lavender is one of my absolute favorite ingredients to use when I want to make something ~’*french*`~ (it reminds me of every picture of Provence that I’ve ever seen), so a Fleur cupcake will absolutely contain lavender!Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing ideas! And yes, please come back if you think of what a Hermione cupcake would be like! Or if you come up with ideas for another character! Or if you just wanna say hi!

[serpensthesia]

Welp, I'm back. How about a tea cupcake for Hermione? I'm thinking with almonds and chocolate. And I know you already did Draco, but I was thinking lime cupcake - vanilla frosting- crushed cookies and a tiny bit of chili infused simple syrup? For Luna I'd do a vanilla but stuffed with things, like blueberries and cranberries and walnuts and some kind of herb? Maybe rosemary? Krum - spiced cupcake, with honey frosting and candied nuts. Or is that more Cedric? Either way this is so much fun???<3

I am screaming! Yes yes yes yes yes a thousand times yes!I *LOVE* the idea of a tea cupcake for Hermione! I need a tea aficionado to let me know what kind she would drink, or at least what proper British tea is… because it’s probably not the same stuff we use for iced tea here, lol.And the idea of a Luna cupcake having all kinds of goodness inside… yaaaaas. I really can’t say yes enough, I don’t think! I just think a Luna cupcake needs to be unexpected - a little strange, even - but ultimately wonderful, flavors that open your imagination to what should be in a dessert.Seriously keep the ideas coming, I love them! I want to know all your thoughts! I think I’m going to aim for the big 9 first (golden trio, both sets of the silver trio (which also, why can’t we make up our minds about if the silver trio is Draco/Blaise/Pansy or Ginny/Neville/Luna?)) plus @synonym-for-life‘s crazy-good Dumbledore!cake, but then I’m definitely swinging back around for Draco round 2… and maybe everyone else. Just every character. All of them, in my kitchen.

[serpensthesia]

Your baking tag is incredible. Please bake things so that you may fill it. Drarry cupcakes. This is a formal request for drarry cupcakes, if at all possible in your lifetime.

omg thank you, this was like… so sweet?!!! I’m certainly working on trying to fill it up with wonderful things!And yes! Drarry cupcakes! There’s definitely the beginning of a plan in place for Drarry cupcakes… like lemony, cinnamon bun-y sort of ideas? (BUT YO IF YOU HAVE MORE IDEAS LIKE LET A GIRL KNOW!) but there’s also, I think, a real life version of the cake mentioned in @o0o-chibaken-o0o‘s (amazing) Cake in the works too!But Hermione is up next! Now if only I could find a way to make the essence of books edible…

AHHHHH! 💚💚💚 I am so glad you like them! It was such a fun bunch of flavors to work with that you suggested! And it was my first time making spun sugar anything, so I'm glad the snitch ended up being somewhat recognizable!

@cat-wolfe replied to your post:

That snitch is amazing!!! Omg the whole thing makes me drool

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🤗 I was so worried that people would think "wtf is that weird looking thing," so thank youuuu!!!

@nightime-hufflepuff reblogged your post and said:

Jesus mo leasus they have a lot of ginger flavor ((like all the Weasleys)) and the pumpkin just fits in like god its the Halloween feast up in here. The fucking cream is as thick as Harry’s thighs and smooth like Draco’s hair just holy mother fucking yesssss Good shit my dudes good amazing shit

 😂😂😂 Oh my god this my favorite description of anything I have ever baked ever now. Like I loved this so much that I wanted to replace everything I wrote in my post with just this, that's how good it was!! 😍😍

@puppyfee reblogged your post and said:

id get all my mouths on these

If I could find a way to teleport these to you, I would love for you to be able to do just that!!

@o0o-chibaken-o0o reblogged your post and said:

HARRY LOOKS FUCKING DELICIOUS

Harry IS fucking delicious (though that's just a general statement, not related to the cupcakes at all)(but I do have it on good authority that these were very tasty!) 😘

@synonym-for-life reblogged your post and said:

I want to eat Harry. Hope Draco won’t mind.

I think we both that Draco would most certainly mind 😏 (but if you sneak into the kitchen while Draco isn't looking, I'll still share!)

@bixgirl1 reblogged your post and said:

Harry Potter cupcakes. Goddamn.

AHHHH! 😍😘😍😘😍

@silveredglass replied to your photo:

Ahhhh. I want to eat this. But also it’s so pretty. ✨✨✨

Thank you, love! 😍😍😍 I did eat it! I don't know what the snitch tasted like when Harry nearly swallowed it, but this one was very sweet and a tiny bit crunchy!

@bixgirl1 said:

Oh my fucking hell. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!??!! I INSPIRED THIS SORT OF BAKING BEAUTY?! I think @serpensthesia might have actual magical powers, LOOKIT THESE!!!! Why the hell doesn’t she live in California?! *weeping*

*is blushing* I mean, I couldn't have you give such a great answer and then not try to make it reality! And if I could magically transport these to you, I totally would! 😍😍😍 And giiiiirl, a fic about Harry finding the perfect Malfoy flavor would be amazing. Imagine all the tasty experiments they would have to do!

@cat-wolfe said:

OMG I want to try one of them and see if ...ahem... they taste like Draco :D

I would love to share them... alas, mailing one to you would probably not end well 😢 And I think we would all like to know if they taste like Draco... but then we would also have an angry Harry Potter on our hands.

@liilyflower said:

#for luna like a golden toffee cupcake #i like the neville cupcake idea #but maybe instead of avocado do pistachio? #a bakery by my house has pistachio muffins that are green inside #for ginny maybe orange caramel

Ugh, these all sound dope! And I looooove pistachio flavored things! I think you might be on to something with that Ginny/orange-caramel combination, too... *puts on baking cap (it's like a thinking cap but covered in flour, lol)*

@o0o-chibaken-o0o said:

They look AMAZING

THANK YOU, PRECIOUS CREATURE (and I am so excited for your Blaise cupcakes but they have to wait until Friday evening because well... fireball.)

@silveredglass said:

OMG These look unbelievable and they are SO perfectly on point for Pansy. I need to make pomegranate curd NOW.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! And omg please do make pomegranate curd ASAP because it's fucking delicious and the only thing I want to eat on toast for the rest of my life now? Like, move over lemon curd, there's a new boss in town (and duh, of course that boss would be something Pansy-inspired!).

@femmequixotic said:

HOLY CRAP, THESE ARE AMAZING. And perfectly Pansy. Excuse me while I flail about for a little bit, because you don’t understand, I love baking. Like LOVE it. Like it’s my relaxation activity. And the baker in me may be having a bit of a complete meltdown about how incredible this recipe looks and how I really, really, really need to try it out soon because OH MY GOD YES. Also, the addition of clove into the dark chocolate cake part? IS FREAKING GENIUS. Oh man. That’s Pansy, you guys. That little bit of spiciness added to the chocolate? I LOVE IT. And the tartness of the pomegranate with the bittersweetness of the chocolate too? PERFECT. @serpensthesia, you are utterly incredible and I am in awe. AWE, I TELL YOU.

Um... well, I'm pretty sure I'm dead now. I've died of happiness. I'm so SO SO glad to hear that these match the idea you gave me! And listen, you are a wonder and your writing is a gift and so if the only thing I can do to let you know how appreciative I am of... well, everything... that you create, then I will create a million recipes in your honor.

@bixgirl1 said:

Such an amazing way to explore the fandom, it makes me want to cry. Character cupcakes. Oh. @serpensthesia my love, my heart, my moon and stars, this is so perfect… 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

My queen! You're my ride or die in this adventure! Thank you for every kind, encouraging thing you've ever said to me. I am forever in your debt.

And to every beautiful person that has reblogged, liked, even given this harebrained idea a passing glance... I LOVE YOU ALL.

This wonderful person is actually making HP CHARACTER THEMED CUPCAKES Do I need to repeat that or do you already see how awesome this is? She (are you a she? correct me if I’m wrong pls!) made Draco Malfoy in cupcake form and it is pretty, prissy and perfect just like him. i now realize what an impossible task i gave you with that Dumbledore cake… geezzz synonym u just went way too wild on that ask

Nooooooo, I'm so excited to try and turn your Dumbledore cake into a reality!! I'm trying to think of where I can get whale confetti and how do I make a cake wail in pain and can I make raspberry curd that's spicy? Can that be done? Always go wild! Never be boring! Dumbledore wouldn't want that! (and yep, I am a she!)

@o0o-chibaken-o0o said:

also hi i love baking and am currently out of an oven and would love to bake vicariously by plotting with you about character cakes if you ever want help!!!!

Hi! I'm so sorry to hear about your lack of an oven! But you are totally welcome to bake vicariously through me, I'll try to make you proud! And yes, I always I want help - I love allllll of the ideas that I'm getting! *slides into your askbox to bother you*

@bixgirl1 replied to your post: I asked one of my tumblr icons about this and she...

1. I feel like icons should probably be more exotic and interesting than people who shop at Walmart even though they have moral objections to the corporation, but I did flail a bit at reading that. Lol. 2. Stupid question? This was a fear?? It was about Draco Malfoy, for fuck’s sake. And cake. Draco Malfoy as a cake. You somehow managed to smoosh two of my favorite things into one question. 3. I’m pretty much going to be spending the rest of the night pondering the other questions because i never knew until now how important the answers would be to me (it’s a strangely hypnotic line of questioning), so thanks for that. 😂

1. nope, you are absolutely an icon, a wonder, a gift from the universe. (and no one can *really* blame you for the walmart thing, because we have all been there... when it's 3AM and you desperately need both wall paint and ice cream, walmart beckons to you like some terrible capitalist siren. 2. oh my god absolutely. i am 50% absolutely down for all things fandom and ready to annoy every content creator here to know all their secrets and 50% terrifed if i say anything everyone will hate me and i will have to go the way of snape-haters and otayuri antis... just screaming my opinions into the void with everyone rolling their eyes in my direction and wishing i would leave. 3. i will be right there with you... hence the post. i just think it's an interesting idea, and something i'm (probably) capable of (i will leave the writing to ICONS like you!), but i wanted to drag the drarry squad into this mess with me because they are beautiful and lovely and full of amazing ideas!
