Magic Edible Harry Potter Wands

While surfing the web, I found quite a few wands, similar to the ones used in the Harry Potter films. I wanted to make edible ones that could do some "magic", but even though the ones I found were called "magic" their only function was to serve as food...

So after some brain storming I decided to make them myself with the help of two friends. We had a lot of fun and were surprised, how good they turned out.

Step 1: Stuff you need

For the wands:

• 500g sugar
• a tablespoon of corn syrup
• white and black chocolate depending on the type, that you would like to make
• Aluminium foil
• wood pole or a long wooden spoon with a diameter of one cm
• fondant (if you need a recipe, check out this site)
• icing colours
• wire

For the "magic"

method one: (Indicator reaction)

• red cabbage sauce (as a pH-indicator)
• L-Arginin (you can get it in the apothecary)
• Citric acid (you can get it in the apothecary)

method two: (colouring the tongue)

• powdered food colouring

method three: (making water glow under UV light)

• Vitamin B2
