My mom's birthday was Friday and I knew I had to make her a special cake! I've been wanting to make a teapot cake since I saw this tea cup tutorial. I also knew that, as much as I prefer the flavor of homemade fondant, it just wouldn't cover as well as pre-made, so I took this opportunity to do some experimenting and taste testing! I found a small store that stocks Satin Ice rolled fondant and gum paste, it was worth the one-and-a-half-hour round trip drive to find a little stockpile of cake supplies at North Carolina Paper Company in Clayton, NC.
The cake is a lemon cake filled and covered with lemon buttercream frosting. The tea cup, saucer, teapot handle, and spout are made out of sugar paste. I piped on the vines with royal icing and finished the teapot and cup and saucer with food color "paint." Happy Birthday Mom!
