It is something that every Harry Potter fan has thought about. What house would I be in at Hogwarts?

Butterbeer Frosting

You will need:

• 2 sticks of softened butter
• 4 TBS butterscotch sauce (find this by the ice cream)
• 1/2 C. Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. butter extract
• 7 c. powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk

Mix the butter, butterscotch sauce, sugar, vanilla, and butter extract together until well whipped. While mixing, add the powdered sugar 1-2 cups at a time, mixing all the time. Mix the milk into the frosting to get the right consistency.

Harry Potter Sorting Hat Cupcakes

You will need:

• chocolate cupcakes
• butterbeer frosting
• circle cookie cutter
• M&Ms in red, green, yellow and blue
• piping bag and tip (if you want to pipe the frosting onto the cupcake)

Separate the M&Ms into four piles. Red for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, blue for Ravenclaw and yellow for Hufflepuff. Use the cookie cutter to cut out a circle in the top of each cupcake, saving the part you remove.

Add M&Ms for one of the houses to each cupcake and then replace the circle of cake. Frost the cakes with Butterbeer frosting.

Sorting Hat Toppers

You will need:

• Tootsie Rolls

Unwrap three small Tootsie Rolls per sorting hat. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for 5-10 seconds. You only want to warm them up a little, not melt them, so watch them closely.

Roll the tootsie rolls together in your hand until they are smooth. Pinch off a part of the tootsie roll and roll it out. Use the cookie cutter you used to cut the cupcake to cut out a circle for the bottom of the hat. Pinch off a small piece and set to the side. Mold the rest of the Tootsie Roll into a cone and then curve the top. Use the small pinch to create the face for the sorting hat.

Place a Sorting Hat on top of each cupcake.
