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

That's pretty cool! Do they taste good after you dip them in the L-Arginin and citric acid? It's cute.

Hi, thanks, the red cabbage juice reacts with nearly all the powder and the chocolate masks the taste of the juice pretty well. Citric acid tastes like lemons and the taste of the L-Arginin is a bit hard to describe, we tried it pure and it tastes a bit soapy, but not too intense.
