Harry Potter Cake

My boys 7th Birthday Harry Potter Cake.

This is the first time I made a sheet cake. The Harry Potter castle and figures were a kit. I frosted the entire thing myself. It was huge hit and tasted great.

Favorite Books - This is a small list of the many books I have read and enjoyed.

The Passage Series by Justin Cronin
The Order of the Sanguines Series by James Rolling and Rebecca Cantrell. A three book series on a secret church order of vampires.
The Forgotten Seamstress by Liz Trenow. A book about a quilt. So sweet.
Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon (Oh Jamie! I'd go through time for you any day!)
All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness Three book series about vampire and witches.
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. I have read a lot of book since my last entry. This is the first one in a while I thought was worth sharring.
This Much I Know is True by Wally Lamb. This book takes a life time out of you, but is well worth it.
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson. This book will change the way you view the world.
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Girl with a Pearl Earing by Tracy Chevalier
Author Alison Weir writes great books about the European Royalty
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
Chang and Eng by Darin Strauss
Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue. Great period piece. I love historical fiction.
The Terrosrists of Irustan by Louise Marley. I love a book with strong female characters.
Tis' by Frank McCourt. His first book Angela's Ashes was also very well done.
Stones by the River by Ursula Hegi
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross. Fantastic book about the only female pope (supposedly).
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Great book that remains one of my true favorites. Her next Prodigal Summer was also very good.
Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. Beware the awful ending.
Fortune's Rock by Anita Shreve
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.
Ahab's Wife by Sena Jeter Naglund. I love a book that take a tiny line or story from something and turns it into a novel. Ahab was the captain in Moby Dick.
Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. I have read everything she wrote.
The Twlight Series by Stephenie Meyer. Really no explanation need.
The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. This is my all time favorite book.
