 Tea Pot Cake

​I’m a little tea pot, short and stout…oh sorry!
 
First yes this cake is adorable, but it was very challenging. My friend found a tea pot on cake on Pinterest and somehow talked me into making it for her. To make the cake, I baked a cake using a round cake pan, blue fondant, gumpaste, and three store bought rice crispy treats. I created a ring using the rice crispy treats large enough to hold the round cake in place.

I used a little buttercream to hold to the rice crispy treats and filled the cake as normal. Once the top layer was in place I crumb coated the entire cake.

I rolled out a large piece of blue fondant and placed it on the cake and very slowly began to smooth it with my hands. I was able to cover the cake without and seams.

I’ve made round cakes before, so I knew what to expect, but the handle and the spout kept damaging the cake! I tried using gum paste and the pieces were not staying in place. I ended up having to use a food safe wire to mold a 50/50 mixture of fondant and gum paste to create the handle and spout. With a little talent and a lot of luck I was able to get them to stay in place. ​

I rolled out green fondant very thinly to create the vines and used a fondant cutter to make the leaves. I used a small flower cutter and tightly over lapping the petals to create the pink rose buds, then used a star flower cutter to create the sepal. The top and bottom details were created the same as the vines and once they were in place I piped on the white pearls with buttercream.

In the end I love how it turned out, if this type of cake is ever requested again I’ll have a better idea of what to expect!
