Our dream birthday cake commission landed in our inbox six months ago—a bespoke Hogwarts cake to be delivered directly to the Harry Potter set at WB Studios, Watford!

It was a super secret order for Italian celebrity, Vincenzo's 40th birthday. His party venue was none other than the legendary Warner Brothers Studios in North London. This high-profile commission allowed our bakery, Anges de Sucre, to truly showcase our skill and logistical expertise.

The Challenge of an AI-Generated Vision

The inspiration image sent to us seemed like it was possibly generated by AI (which always fills me with fright because...well, how is something in real life ever going to match up to AI perfection?).

Vincenzo’s requirements were ambitious: he wanted a towering, 2-tiered cake (10" on 12") featuring our popular chocolate sponge with red berries compote and vanilla buttercream. On top? A true-to-life edible sculpture of Hogwarts Castle. And, oh wait, it needed to light up too.

If, like Vincenzo, you’re partial to a good chocolate sponge, you might enjoy browsing our rich and moist chocolate cake collection—each one is made with the same devotion to flavour.

Delivery Day: Battling the Heat

The most challenging part of this entire commission was the logistics and delivery. We had to transport this huge, almost 17-kilogram cake to WB Studios on one of the hottest days of the year.

Our required delivery window was tight and out of the usual schedule: between 20:30 and 21:00—after the studio visitors had left and before the party guests arrived! Transporting a meltingly beautiful cake across London in peak summer heat required absolute precision.

The Final Magic in Dumbledore's Office

Our driver, Cecily, is the true hero of this story. She navigated the challenging route and delivery schedule, carefully carrying this beast of a personalised birthday cake.

Her final destination? Dumbledore's literal office within the studios! She got the cake placed perfectly, turned on the internal lights, and it was just pure MAGIC.

For anyone planning a magical party—be it for wizards, little dreamers, or grown-up fans—a glance at our collection of children’s birthday cakes can spark a few ideas. We’re not above a bit of magic ourselves!

Thank you Vincenzo and team for trusting us with your special commission. The party looked INCREDIBLE.
