The internet is going mad over the cauldron cakes at Harry Potter World

A trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter isn’t complete without a little something from Honeydukes and a butter beer to wash it down. The cauldron cakes are a Harry Potter World classic, but one must admit, they weren’t the most exciting things to look at.

But the cauldron cakes at Universal Orlando have been revamped, and the internet has lost its mind over the cakes’ spectacular makeover. They now have colorful flames and are served in reusable cauldrons that can make perfect keepsakes long after their contents are consumed.

We’re already planning to take ours to Prof. Slughorn’s potions class.

@universalorlando's Cauldron Cakes received a makeover! The new cakes from the #wwohp come in their own reusable cauldron! Which do you prefer the new or the old ones? . . . . . #universal #universalstudios #universalorlando #universalhollywood #wizardingworldofharrypotter #harrypotter #cauldroncakes #wizardingworld #themepark #snacks #treats #cakes

According to the Orlando Informer’s Instagram account, the cakes are being sold for $9.95, which is quite the increase from their original $3.95 price tag.

But fans don’t seem to mind the price increase. For a reusable cauldron — that you can use for baking — and a cake that looks like a straight-up piece of art, the extra $6 seems worth it.

‪New Cauldron Cakes are available at Honeydukes and Sugarplum's! They're $9.95 and the cauldron itself is reusable. . . . #UniversalOrlando #HarryPotter #Yummy #Food #Orlando #Family #Travel #WizardingWorld #cake #travelig #hiddengem #adventure #staycation

And, no offense to its predecessor (it was super cute, we swear)…

I think #cauldroncakes might be my new fav.... #Honeydukes, #hogsmeadevillage washed it down w/ a #pumpkinjuice. Sadly they were out of #pumpkinpasties

…but we have to say these new guys are straight fire (pun intended).

Trying the new #cauldroncakes from Sugarplums Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley! They're so pretty and the cauldron is reusable. You can even bake in it. But that's a lot of icing. #harrypotter #wizardingworldofharrypotter #diagonalley #wizardingworld #universalstudios

If you want to pick up a new cauldron cake, you can do so at Honeydukes in Hogsmeade or Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley.

While you’re enjoying your treat, think about the fantastic at-home mug cakes you can whip up in your Harry Potter World cauldron. Or you can use it to sip on some homemade Butterbeer. It’s the sweet treat that keeps on giving.
