Harry Potter Wizards of Baking Premiere Recap

 

-Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking is hosted by Oliver and James Phelps, aka Fred and George Weasley. The show will have several teams baking different kinds of pastries based on the Harry Potter franchise. They must be two feet tall, have two tasting elements and a magical element.

-Lisa and Mitzi are the first team to join and decide their dessert should be based on Luna Lovegood’s journey to Hogwarts. It will include her shoes and her glasses as a magic element. It will include Mexican and white chocolate flavors, fondant and wafers.

-Kayla and Yohann are team two. Their dessert will be based on the first movie, which is Kayla’s favorite. It will have a chocolate wand, a Gryffindor scarf, invitations, a chocolate marshmallow cake and a popcorn snitch.

-Team three consists of Juan and Elizabeth. Their dessert is based on the patronus charm with a horsehead, chocolate slugs and almond cake lilies.

-Elizabeth and Kayla actually know each other from a previous competition.

-Lisa and Mitzi’s cake overflows and burns, so they must start over with no time to spare.

-Mitzi got sorted into pastry when she decided to work in the culinary business. Adorable!

-Michael and Conner and Hemu and Riccardo are next to join. They make the Mirror of Erised and Whomping Willow, respectively.

-The Whomping Willow is made of almond cake and chocolate.

-The Mirror of Erised has rose and fruit flavors.

-Before long, Lisa and Mitzi must present their dessert. Carla and Jozef are the judges that will determine if they get to the next round…aka a ticket on the Hogwarts Express.
