I did a couple of teapots, one even won an award! icon_smile.gif I used the Wilton ball cake pan, and fondant for the spout, handle, & lid.

Ok I understand the cake parts of the tea pot...but did you use a gumpaste fondant mix to do the spouts and handle and tops?? If so is that mix easy to work with?

Thanks
Christi

Thanks! It was an Alice in Wonderland theme, so that's the Dormouse. The book says that as Alice is leaving the tea party, the Mad Hatter & the March Hare are trying to stuff the Dormouse in a teapot. icon_smile.gif

Anyway, I just used straight fondant for the spout & handle. I put them on there after they had dried for an hour or so, but if you have time, I would definitely let them dry longer than that. A couple days if you have it.

Here is a pic of one I've done. I think most of the instructions are where they're posted in my photos. I use a fondant/gumpaste blend or all gumpaste for the handle and spout - they dry much faster and harder that way. I make them all buttercream with some royal flowers, there is no fondant on them.

I did a teapot cake with the wonder pan. You can look in my photos and see it. It was very easy!

I have made several and used a 50/50 mix also for the spout and handle. It is pretty much just like working with straight fondant - but you are going to get it to dry much faster. I attached them with royal icing and toothpicks. Good Luck!

Here's one I did last year for a tea at our church. I tried marzipan for the handle & spout - too heavy! Then I tried straight MMF, better, wouldn't stay on. Toothpicks just tore up the cake, so I used skewers! I actually baked mine in glass mixing bowls.
