At Hogwarts, gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid grows enormous pumpkins in his garden. It’s where his poor Hippogriff Buckbeak sat in wait while he was sentenced to death, and where the trio of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger took a little trip with the Time-Turner and made sure Buckbeak made it out safely. So many wonderful Harry Potter adventures took place in that pumpkin patch, so it seemed an idyllic setting for creating a miniature terrarium. Even better, making an edible terrarium!

A Lego Hagrid stands above layers of chocolate cake, candy rocks and mellocreme pumpkins. Look closely and you’ll see a happy and alive paper Buckbeak hanging out and enjoying the scenery.

Hagrid’s Edible Pumpkin Patch Terrarium

Ingredients:
9 x 13 chocolate cake
Mellowcreme Pumpkins
chocolate rocks
Matcha Powder (green tea)
Lego Hagrid
Printed Buckbeak image

In the bottom of a large glass container slice the chocolate cake to fit, placing the pieces at various heights.

Place the Mellocreme Pumpkins in a pile and around the jar.

Take part of the leftover chocolate cake and crumble it on top to simulate dirt and to cover the seams. Add the chocolate rocks.

Sprinkle a light dusting of  Matcha Powder in corners to look like moss.

Place Lego Hagrid and the Buckbeak print out amongst the edible dirt.

Use as a centerpiece and serve for dessert.
