Several of you have asked about the teapot cake I made for my oldest daughter earlier this month, so I just thought I’d share a few simple steps if you’re interested in making your own!!

Supplies:
Cake mix (and eggs, water, oil, etc.)
Large glass measuring bowl
Ring pop
Frosting
Sprinkles
Twizzlers
Skittles
Toothpicks

Here’s how I made it:

1)  Follow cake mix instructions.  Bake cake in greased 2-Quart oven-proof batter/measuring bowl (like this one — although mine was actually from Pampered Chef) at 350 degrees for approximately one hour.  Allow to cool and remove from bowl.  Place on serving tray or plate.

2)  Put a ring pop in the top of the cake for a knob.  Frost cake.  Add sprinkles, if desired.  (I have to use them to hide my terrible frosting job!)

3)  Frost a marshmallow for the spout of the teapot.  Attach to cake with a toothpick.  Add sprinkles, if desired.

4)  Wrap Twizzlers around bottom of cake.  Decorate cake with Skittles or M&Ms.  (I used groups of four to make “flowers”.  I also placed them around the ring pop to form the top.)

5)  Insert toothpicks into top and bottom of two Twizzlers.  Poke into cake to form handle.

Delicious!!
