These Harry Potter dragon egg cake balls are a super fun alternative Harry Potter cake for a Harry Potter party. That's a lot of Harry Potter, but, they're that cool--and easy to make!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 28 minutes

Additional Time 15 minutes

Total Time 48 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 cupcakes, made from your favorite cake
• 1 container or batch of marshmallow fondant
• 1 can of your favorite frosting
• 1 can Gold Cake Spray
• 10-15 drops Black GEL Food Coloring

Instructions

1. Make sure your cupcakes are completely cooled before beginning to make the dragon eggs.
2. Break-up all of your cupcakes into crumbles in a large bowl.
3. Mix your cupcake crumbles with frosting until completely combined.
4. With your hands, form into 12 egg shapes and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
5. Place these in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to set.
6. Work black GEL food coloring into fondant until the desired grey color is consistent throughout. Alternatively, you can buy grey fondant, it's just not a very popular color, though, so be warned.
7. Separate fondant into 3 equal-sized portions, set 2 aside so you can work with one piece at a time.
8. Roll the 1/3 section of fondant flat (about ⅛-inch thickness).
9. Cut into 4 sections with a sharp knife.
10. Remove eggs from the freezer and wrap one egg in one of the sections of fondant you just cut.
11. Repeat until all eggs are covered in fondant. Do not try to work the egg too much, just get it covered--the more you handle the fondant, the more sticky it will get.
12. Place eggs back into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to set.
13. Working with one egg at a time, remove eggs from freezer and mash the edge of a spoon into the side, forming scales, starting at the top and working your way around the outside of the egg in concentric circles.
14. Spray each egg with the gold cake spray.
15. Place eggs back into the freezer until ready to serve.
16. Serve cold.
