Food Networks Duff Goldman and his Charm City Cakes staff had the pleasure of making the cake for the New York Half Blood Prince Premiere. As you may recall, they made a working model of the Hogwarts Express, and Tom Felton had the honor of cutting the first piece!

CCC hits the big apple for a special hour of witchcraft, cranberry bogs, fishing and cakes. Duff is once again invited to celebrate with the Hogwarts crowd as he makes a uniquely designed cake for the US premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Mary Alice is overwhelmed by tweens as she and Duff deliver a cake for the publication of the new Ghost Girl novel. Chef Duff and the gang go bogging with Ocean Spray in Rockefeller Center and some of the bakery staff gets to see what they can fish out.

 The episode featuring the creation of the cake will be shown on Food Networks popular series Ace Of Cakes. You can catch the premiere on October 29th at 10:00pm ET/PT

“Let’s Take It Back” Lyrics:

So you can take a look
in my crystal ball,
tell me what you see.
Nothing at all.
Because the past
it’s not last
quite long enough.
Didn’t notice it
would be so rough.

Ah, misspent youth,
time well spent.
You can’t find a life
in just paying the rent

Now

Let’s take it back to the early days,
when we were carefree
and oh so young.
Let’s take it back to the memories,
oh, when life seemed to be nothing but fun.

Now,
let’s rewind
to those times
when we
were happy.

Let this song bring back what seems to be gone
I said let this song bring back what seems to be gone

So you can take a glass of a champagne past
which unfortunately
didn’t last
because ignorance
was bliss,
sealed with a kiss.
I’d take my chance to dance
with no need to resist

Misspent youth,
time well spent.
You can’t find a life
in just paying the rent

Now

Let’s take it back to the early days,
when we were carefree
and oh so young.
Let’s take it back to the memories,
oh, when life seemed to be nothing but fun.

Now,
let’s rewind
to those times
when we
were happy.

Let this song bring back what seems to be gone
I said let this song bring back what seems to be gone

[Humming]

Let’s take it back to the early days,
when we were carefree
and oh so young.

Let’s take it back to the memories,
oh, when life seemed to be nothing but fun.

You know,
let’s rewind
to those times
when we
were happy

Let this song bring back what seems to be gone
I said let this song bring back what seems to be gone

{What A beautifully bittersweet song, I say!!}

A final note, I’m sure I messed up some of those lyrics – particularly in the non-repeated sections – so if you would so kind as to help, that would be awesome. Thank you.

And, of course, A BIG HUGE THANK YOU to Tom Felton!

Thanks to @4privetdrive for letting us know that Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy is now available in Sims 3! Creator Nyn on Mod The Sims has created this Sim, and he looks great! Nyn has also created other Harry Potter actors, such as Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.

Previously, we have told you about other Tom Felton-related items for the Sims 2 game, such as a slightly younger Draco Malfoy, a teen Draco, Draco Malfoy posters, Tom Felton posters, and a Draco Malfoy teddy bear!

If you’re into Harry Potter and the Sims, there is a whole community of developers building Potter-themed content for this game (here is the Harry Potter project for Sims 2)! For example, check out this amazing, functional Hogwarts Castle for Sims 2! It even includes dorm rooms, the Great Hall, Dumbledore’s office and more!
