Harry Potter's Lawyers to Bake Shop: No Butterbeer or Acid Pops for You!

On the very day the not-so-young wizard debuted in his final onscreen performance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, lawyers for his studio, Warner Bros., have zapped a South Miami bake shop.

This morning, we reported about the Harry Potter-themed sweet treats at Sweetness Bake Shop & Café on Sunset Drive. But, we have just learned, the shop's owners -- who also steward the area's first dessert truck, Sugar Rush -- have received a cease-and-desist letter arguing the names of Harry's treats are proprietary.

What a bunch of muggles!

The shop's response: Cave in. Kind of. Owners renamed -- only slightly -- replicas of the weird foods served in the multiple-part Potter bonanza.

Among the changes:

• Butterbeer is now buttered beer: cream soda cake and butterscotch filling
  topped with butterscotch buttercream.
• Acid pop is now acidule pop: lemon cake with sour acidule filling and sour
  acidule frosting.
• Pumpkin juice is now juiced pumpkin: spiced pumpkin cake topped with spiced
  cream-cheese frosting.
• Strawberry peanut butter: peanut butter cake and strawberry filling topped
  with strawberry buttercream.
