Yellow Teapot Cake
A new teapot cake for Eloise's Great Aunt Beverly. I couldn't think of anybody who more fitted a teapot cake, I don't think I have ever been to visit without drinking at least one cup of tea. It was a small vanilla buttermilk sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla icing. The cake was sculpted then covered in sunshine yellow paste with white sugatpaste flowers and royal icing piped leaves and details. The handle and spout were also made from sugarpaste and stuck on with toothpicks and secured with royal icing, they were still a bit droopy and I was very worried they would fall off before we got to the party so I propped them up with tissue for the journey and they set just in time. I finished it about 5 minutes before we were due at the birthday party so in the rush this is the only photo. It was a super cute cake and delicious.
