I made this guy for a Harry Potter themed week at work! (I started challenging the new employees to make a cake, sugar piece, etc every week on a certain theme to get better at decorating!)

The pot is 6 layers of chocolate cake with fudge filling, covered in buttercream and fondant. The Mandrake is made from rice cereal treats and modeling chocolate with wafer paper leaves, and dusted with powdered food color. The “dirt” is dried chocolate cake crumbs! :)
