Hogwarts Express cake to be featured on Ace of Cakes this week

If you have cable (I do not) and you live in the US, you’ll want to tune into Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes” show airing this Thursday, Oct. 29., at 10 p.m. Why? Because they’re making a freaking Hogwarts Express cake, baby!

Yes, it’s true – and here’s the official description:

CCC hits the big apple for a special hour of witchcraft, cranberry bogs, fishing and cakes. Duff is once again invited to celebrate with the Hogwarts crowd as he makes a uniquely designed cake for the US premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Mary Alice is overwhelmed by tweens as she and Duff deliver a cake for the publication of the new Ghost Girl novel. Chef Duff and the gang go bogging with Ocean Spray in Rockefeller Center and some of the bakery staff gets to see what they can fish out.

You can see a preview photo of the cake here; I’ll have more as it becomes available. In the meantime, here’s a former episode of Ace of Cakes featuring a Harry Potter cake:
