Tea Party Birthday!

We had a service auction at church and I offered to make a cake. I was super excited when the winner of that auction said she was having a tea party theme for her daughter's birthday because I've always wanted to make a teapot cake. I had trouble with the spout - I had one all sculpted out of fondant and it kept falling and the skewers kept poking through so I scrapped that and invented this funky spout made with balls of fondant. I wasn't thrilled with it, but I was running out of time and didn't know what else to do. I was happy with the rest of the cake though.



The cake was sour cream chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, covered in fondant.
