For K's 3rd Birthday I (Brandy) made a Tea Pot Cake. I had it all planned out. I was going to use chocolate for the spout and handle, As soon as I had it all made and ready to put onto the cake the chocolate broke. On to plan b. I made them out of fondant the spout worked out and was fine as I pushed the skewers into it and as I pushed it into the cake (which was already iced) However when I went to put in the handle it busted into little pieces. Onto plan C for the spout. I though and thought about the problem and finally it hit me. Licorice! so I sent the hubs up to the gas station for one piece of licorice. I stuck it into the cake and iced and decorated my little tea pot. This cake was also my first attempt at butter cream flowers. All in all I was pleased with how it turned out. Remember that when decorating cakes things go wrong and you have to stay on your toes and use many different things to make your vision a reality.
