I used a stainless steel bowl to make the shape (two halves put together of course). I had just enough batter left to make the 'lid'.. Then I stenciled the flower pattern on with buttercream (over really cold buttercream on the cake) and painted the leaves with petal dust. I discovered that a very thin coat of royal icing makes a really shiny appearance on gumpaste so I put that on the handle and spout . I let them dry but they were still a little tacky --however when I painted them with a mix of lemon extract and avocado petal dust, wow! It went on smooth and super shiny and they didn't feel sticky anymore. So I did the same to the buttercream petals and polka dots. I used royal icing for the dots and the centers of the gumpaste flowers. The cake is a sour cream strawberry with strawberry buttercream filling and cream cheese frosting. My husband's sister loved it.
