Gumpaste Teacup & Saucer???
Decorating By kakabekabunny Updated 9 Mar 2006 , 2:00am by kakabekabunny
Has anyone ever made a gumpaste teacup & saucer? I've seen them in ICES contests & they look like real china cups & saucers. Are there moulds to make them? Any advice/ suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
Good luck.
I found these directions when playing on the computer one day. I haven't tried it yet but one day I will

I just ordered a mold from kitchenkrafts.com. It's a chocolate mold but it will work for gumpaste and fondant also, I'm sure. It was $2.25.
what is ICES?
Internation Cake Exploration Society
Check out ices.org for more information. They have a convention every year (this year in Grapevine, Texas) with lots of demo's on how to do different things.
dsoutherngirl, is the chocolate mould for miniature or regular size? I'm looking for regular size cup & saucer. reenie, I've been thinking about using a real cup & saucer as moulds, but haven't quite figured out how to do it. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
bunny, I wanted full-size also. The mold for the cup that I purchased holds 4 1/2 oz. and is 3 inches deep and the saucer is 3 inches in diameter.

I did this last year and I can give you some directions if that is what you want to do : )

Nati, that looks like what I want, but I don't want to bake a cake in the cup, just have an empty gumpaste cup & saucer. The saucer is exactly what I'm looking for. Would appreciate any directions. You can pm them to me if you like. Thanks
dsoutherngirl, when u get your moulds could u pm me & let me know what they look like, I took a look on kitchenkrafts.com, but they don't show the actual mould, just what the chocolate looks like after its done. With the thickness of the chocolate, I'm not sure if it would be OK for gumpaste.

Ok, will do when i get home, so what you're after is something more like whats on this table?? But you want it regular sized rather than miniature. It should be quite ok to do, will send some isntructions.

As soon as I get mine, I'll pm a pic, bunny. and see if it's what you need.
BTW Nati, the link you posted with the cake, on a table cake, on a cake is soooooooo cute. You did a great job. What a clever idea!!
Ursula40, welcome. Hope you get as much info as I've gotten. Everyone is so helpful.
