I was considering making a teapot cake, but I haven't done fondant yet. Would you be able to do it in buttercream? What would you use for the handle and spout?
in one of my cake books there is a tea cup cake with a chocolate transfer handle .soo you could try making a spout and handle.
good luck

I made a teapot cake for my mother's birthday. Unfortunately I don't have a picture. I iced it in BC and used fondant for the handle and spout. I just rolled out the fonant and use a question mark cookie cutter for the spout and a capital C cookie cutter for the handle. I had those cookie cutters from a large Wilton bucket of ABC-123.
MrsMom, I did a tea pot cake and a tea cup cake last Nov for my DD bday. It's in my photos. I used buttercream for the pot and cup. I used fondant for the first time on the handles. I tried the candy clay but I used to much corn syrup for the bag of melts and it wasn't the right size, I used a small size bag so it wouldn't dry hard. I made the small batch of mmf. If I could do it I know by looking at your cakes you would be able to do it. I don't even know how to make flowers yet. Hence the sick looking flowers on the cakes.
I did one in bc and had great success! I have tried to get paste it, not working to well You can just click on my photo button and view it there.
I made a teapot cake and iced it in buttercream and added fondant accents. It was really hard to get the spout and handle to stay because they were so heavy. I have heard that making a cookie and then icing them for the spout and handle works well. Mine is in my gallery.
Here is one I did in buttercream. The spout and handle are gumpaste. I put toothpick in the spout and handle and let it dry. It worked great.

I read in a post earlier someone that make the spout and handle out of styrofoam and then covered it with buttercream. It seems like lots of great ideas here!!
I just saw this on the internet today and was oogling over it (I just LOVE this cake!): http://www.jacquespastries.com/alloccasion25.htm
Looks like the handles, spout and top are marzipan.
I guess you could probably do the spout and handle with sugar cookies couldn't you? I also would like to know if you torted and filled the teapots?
TIA

One more ? are the teapot cakes hard to cover in mmf?

Carol, this link is to a pregnant lady cake.
I made one for my daughter's 6th bday. If I can figure out how to scan it I will send it to you. It was the ball shape with a mini ball shape for the lid and I used the angled coupler stuck into the cake with a lollipop stick for the spout and buttercream icing all over including the spout - SOOO CUTE!!!!! So yes, you can do a teapot in all buttercream.
I did one for my daughters 2nd birthdays and it's in my photos. I think it looks good.
i made a teapot it was buttercream an the handle an spout were made of sugar cookies covered in bc.. hope it helps
or... you could try using rolled buttercream. it's a little more tricky to cover the cake, but it gives you a nice smooth canvas on which to work. hth
I make a lot of teapot/cup cakes for a local tearoom that has a lot of tea parties. I think there is one in my photos. I always just ice in buttercream. I have tried using mmf for the handle and spout. I have tried cookies, etc. After several years of trial and error, I have started using poster board. I have them already cut out ahead of time. Sometimes I cover the poster board in buttercream and other times I just add some flowers and leaves.
I used the sports ball shape for the bottom and the mini ball shape (half) for the lid. I used the angled coupler and put lollipop sticks into it so that it would not fall off and I used a cookie for the handle but it was too big. My pic is above. I also used all stars, I was a newbie to cakes when I did this and had not discovered fondant.
I want to make a simple teapot, as well. What pans do I use?
In this particular cake it looks like they used an 8 x 3 with a 1/2 sport ball pan cake on top. http://www.jacquespastries.com/alloccasion25.htm
In Lindy Smith's book, she used the entire sport ball pan for a round teapot.
I use the sports ball pan for the teapot and the mini-ball pans for the teacups.
There are detailed instructions on the Wilton site. They do it in all stars, which I used to do in the beginning, but it takes so long!!

Do you have that link? I'd love to look at it.

If the link does not work, just go to wilton and search for teapot. It is the only thing that comes up.
They turn a mini cake upside down on the top of the sports ball pan, but I do not do that anymore.

Okay, don't know how THAT happened because I didn't copy the link to her belly cake, I copied the link to the teapot! I'll try again.

The positions move, you need to copy THIS url-
http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_178603.html
It'll stay the same.

Okay. Forgive my computer ignorance but you're going to have to explain this one to me. I did a search for her name, clicked on her photos, and then opened the teapot one. Then, I copied the address from the bar and pasted. What you said totally makes sense about them moving when new things are added but then where do I get the other url from? (the one you posted)???
Thanks for your help - I'm sure I've posted a bunch of random pictures all over the place thinking I was being helpful but totally baffling the masses!
