Jun 13, 2017 4:43 PM UTC A major draw at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of [Harry Potter](http://time.com/4812885/harry-potter-sassy-lines/) is the food. From a cart that serves Butterbeer to the Leaky Cauldron, which serves full meals, the food aspect of [J.K. Rowling’s beloved book series](http://time.com/4567782/jk-rowling-fantastic-beasts-populism/) comes to life at the park — and a revamped cake has joined the group. New Cauldron Cakes are now available at the sweet shops Honeydukes and Sugarplums, according to [Orlando Informer](https://www.instagram.com/p/BVF25oSDVUm/?taken-by=orlandoinformer). While the popular pastry was initially made out of chocolate mousse-filled chocolate cake and topped with ganache, the new version comes in a small, reusable cauldron with bright orange flames made out of frosting. The new cakes cost $9.95, a $6 hike from the original pastry, which [cost $3.95](https://orlandoinformer.com/blog/top-five-sweet-treats-at-universal/), according to Orlando Informer. Despite the price increase, Harry Potter fans seem to love the treat. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4816228/harry-potter-universal-studios-cauldron-cakes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4816228/harry-potter-universal-studios-cauldron-cakes/"},"headline":"People Are Going Crazy for New Cauldron Cakes at Wizarding World of Harry Potter","datePublished":"2017-06-13T16:43:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:26.363Z","description":"The cakes come in a real cauldron","url":"https://time.com/4816228/harry-potter-universal-studios-cauldron-cakes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Harry Potter","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd3d488cc5638d31/6988d16ee76ad2286a62ddf0/harry-potter-universal-studios.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd3d488cc5638d31/6988d16ee76ad2286a62ddf0/harry-potter-universal-studios.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harry Potter Diagon Alley At Universal Orlando","caption":"Harry Potter Diagon Alley At Universal Orlando","creditText":"Scott Legato—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4816228/harry-potter-universal-studios-cauldron-cakes/","name":"People Are Going Crazy for New Cauldron Cakes at Wizarding World of Harry Potter"}}]}] ```
