very adorable! Can i ask what you made the tea cup out of ? and for the teapot, did you use a round ball cake and just carve it down. IM looking for ways to make the teapot for a tea party and im still not sure whats the easiest way. What size is the teapot on top roughly? Any pointers are greatly appreciated! this cake is absolutely adorable! Great job!  

Hi SoniaMT, Thank you :) . All the details from the cup to the flowers are made from fondant or a fondant-gumpaste mix. The teapot I made from a cake baked in 6in round pans and carved down. It was a long time ago, but I believe the base cake was a 9 inch round and the teapot was carved from a 6 inch round stacked about 5 to 6 inches high.  If I could go back I would probably make the teapot out of rice crispy treats, make a bigger base cake and save myself a ton of trouble. If you want to try making it out of cake, however, here are the pointers I have for you. I don't know how much experience you have so I'll cover some basic pointers too.

Make the handle, spout and lid WAY in advance. They are thick pieces they will take a while to dry. Don't forget to insert skewers and/or toothpicks before letting them dry so that you can stick them into the teapot cake. Don't let the handle and spout dry on a flat surface unless you want on side to be flat. It isn't perfect, but I laid the pieces in a bowl of flour and jiggled them around to make an indent that was the right shape and let them dry in that to minimize a flat side 

If you have never used tylose powder as a glue and to help dry your fondant I recommend getting some and googling how to use it.

When carving a cake the freezer is your best friend. Freeze the cake and then carve it. freeze it again and then frost it, freeze it again and then put the fondant on. You don't have to freeze it solid, just so that the outside is nice and firm so that you can pick it up easily if you need to.

The best way to smoothly frost a round shape it with a piece of thin plastic about the thickness of card stock. If you don't have thin plastic like that and this cake is just for family and friends you can use actual card stock. Obviously not a food grade item, but it won't make anyone sick or anything.

Don't forget to use a skewer, maybe two to secure the teapot to the base cake. Also, Use some straws inserted into the base cake under the teapot to support the weight of the teapot. 

That is all that comes to mind right now. If you need anymore help feel free to message me on Facebook since I check that WAY more often than cake central. You can find me on FB under Custom Cakes by Erica.

Best of luck! :)
