I developed this recipe for a Harry Potter-themed birthday party. This recipe doesn't require using an oven. During the class, kids learn how to whip and pipe cream using a pastry bag. Each hat hides fresh fruit colored according to the Hogwarts Houses: raspberries for Gryffindor, kiwi for Slytherin, blueberries for Ravenclaw, and mango for Hufflepuff. Equipment 3.5” cookie cutter, piping bag, piping tip 1/4” round, handheld mixer and bowl, spatula
