November 19, 2010 was the Grand Opening of the IMAX for the public. We were asked to create a cake for everyone to enjoy that night. 
Mike from Miville Photography joined us again that evening to capture these great pictures of our creation. 
The style of this cake was the same as the gala cake. With this cake we focused on the Harry Potter film as that was the opening weekend for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. The public cake was a chocolate cake with butter cream filling and covered in fondant. 
This screen for this cake was done a little different then the gala cake. This screen was a sheet of rice/wafer paper that was airbrushed to give an spooky night sky look. The paper was then lit from behind to give a glowing look behind the dragon & castle. The castle and dragon were made of modeling chocolate. We tried to use key elements that represented all of the Harry Potter films. 
Hagrid was re-made to make another appearance on the public cake. He was made of rice cereal treat and modeling chocolate and his lantern was lit with a single LED light. The Hogwarts Express was made of rice cereal treat and modeling chocolate as well. 
Hagrid's Hut also made it onto the cake. It was made of rice cereal treat and modeling chocolate. The Weasley's car was made of chocolate cake covered in fondant & modeling chocolate.
The Sorting Hat also made an appearance on the cake sitting atop the screen. The hat was made of just modeling chocolate.
The back of the cake was again similar to the gala cake but the film canisters are for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2.
