How To Make A Teapot Cake With Tiramisu Filled Teacups, Girls Party Cake

Updated on April 6, 2013 Sasha Kim moreContact Author You can't get much girlier than a tea set. So when there is a true girly-girl in your life why not make her a tea set cake, Here are step by step instructions on how I made this adorable cake. For the teapot you'll need to make two boxes of packaged cake mix or two batches of your favorite recipe. Pour the batter into a 6in and two 8in cake pans (all pans are 2in high) until the batter is only 1/3 from the top of the pan. Bake as your recipe directs. Once cooled put your cakes in the freezer for at least a couple of hours to make then easier to carve.

Cut any dome shape off the 8in cakes but leave the 6in dome. Time to stack your cakes. Start with an 8in on bottom use your favorite filling or frosting and lay the other 8in on top. Add more filling but only were the 6in will lay. Now do your best to carve the cake into a roundish shape. Don't worry if there is a little gap between 8in and 6in, you can fill it with frosting later. Only carve a very little on the bottom. To make it easier to put the fondant on you could leave the bottom layered uncarved.

Now dirty ice your cake. Make sure it is as smooth as you can make it. Be sure to fill any gaps between the layers. To help make a round shape smoother I use a piece to computer paper. Lay an edge aginst the cake, letting it bend to it's shape, and pull it up against the cake. Meanwhile get some fondant ready. Use two full batches of marshmallow fondant. Roll out and cover the teapot with the light pink. Roll out and cut a smaller circle (maybe 7in,) of the bright pink and place it on top as the lid. Be very careful when placing the lid.. Roll a ball of light pink and glue it on top for a lid handle.

Now take the remaining fondant and hand mold a spout and side handle. Place toothpicks into them where they will attach to the cake. Let them air dry overnight and handle with care. With any little leftover bits of fondant roll cute little beads out of them and glue (water and gum-tex) them to the pot as I did. Its not nessesary but you can also cover your cake board or plate with fondant. Wilton Gum Paste and Fondant Student Kit- Discontinued By Manufacturer Buy Now Flowers!
