Tea Cup Cake Toppers & Tutorial – Cake Geek Magazine

A tea cup cake topper is super on-trend for cakes right now, combining two very popular party or wedding themes: vintage and tea parties. It’s especially apt for Irish or UK weddings – two great tea drinking nations!

The cake on the left (above) features a pink lace applique design which you can make using lace moulds available from many sugarcraft stores. The second cake features beautiful sugarcrafted floral cameos which give a lovely vintage feel to this colourful cake.

The teacups featured on these cakes are vintage crockery, which can be difficult to find. But if you’re feeling adventurous, why not try your hand at making sugar teacups! It’s a lot easier than it looks and you’ll find a great tutorial here: how to make a tea cup and saucer cake topper tutorial.
