Note to self: Spray the pans before baking the cake!!!!! That is how this one started out!! But I'm happy with it for a first time sculpted cake.
Let me know what you think. Thanks to Quadcrew for all your help!!!

These are the instructions from Quadcrew - so she gets the credit here:
Thanks again for sharing Quadcrew!!! icon_biggrin.gif

It is the sports ball pan. I cut a small section off of the part that will be the bottom of the pot and save it - that is what I use to make the topper. (I just use a glass or a cookie cutter to cut the topper from that piece of cake) I put the two parts of the cake together with icing and attach the piece I cut for the topper on the top and then ice the whole thing in buttercream. I then do the viva trick to get it smooth before decortaing it.

The spout and the handle are both made of gumpaste. I make them a couple of days ahead of time so they can be dry. I also try to form them by pressing them against the sports ball pan so I know what kind of curve they should have in them to attach them. I put a couple of toothpicks in each one so that when I go to attach them to the cake they will stay. Do not make them too big, I see a lot of the teapot cakes with them looking horrible because they are so big. I use the fisher price teapot at sort of a template for them.

As soon as the icing has crusted and the viva has gotten it smooth, I then attach the handle and spout. I add extra icing around the edges of the spout - it never seems to work right and that helps hide the imperfections. Then I just decorate them however you want to! I usually have the royal dried flowers here from other cakes I have done, and I use them as the decorations. then I trim it out in whatever color buttercream you want to match. I ususally make a buttercream rose for the very top of the topper. I also make star tips around the base where the teapot sets too - makes it look nicer.

I hope this helps! let me know if there is something you don't understand or need more help with. They are not hard to do at all. I have done probably 20 or so of them the last year!
