All Of The Prettiest Teapot Cakes & Tutorials

Teapot Cakes by Lorinda Seto Cakes (left) and Cake Matters (right

A teapot cake brings a wonderful surprise factor to any tea party or birthday celebration.  The tradition of afternoon tea has made a welcome return and has been embraced as enthusiastically by the younger generation as well as the older generation and makes a superb party theme. And what better way to bring the theme to life than with an actual teapot cake?!

Like all our favorite cakes here at Cake Geek, a teapot cake looks difficult to make, but is surprisingly easy! It involves making two dome shaped cakes using a ball shaped cake tin/pan, then trimming the rounded part from the bottom so that it sits flat.  Then it’s ready to fill, ice and decorate! We have a some tutorials here to help you create your own:

  • Teapot Cake Tutorial by How To Cake It
  • Teapot Cake Tutorial by the Cake Journal
  • Teapot Cake Tutorial by Make Fabulous Cakes
  • Teapot Cake Tutorial by Create & Celebrate
  • Also see How To Cakes multi-tiered teapot and teacup cake and tutorial featured further down.

Our two beautiful feature cakes above are by Australian cake designer, Lorinda Seto (top left) and the UK’s, Cake Matters (top right).

Royal wedding cake maker, Fiona Cairns, features a beautiful teapot cake design in The Birthday Cake Book, similar to her beautiful pale blue design below left. We also have an exquisite teapot cake (below right) by Slice Custom Cakes, with the teapot cake showcased atop a vintage blue petal-shaped cake, which makes a very pretty and elegant combination.

You can add as much detail as you wish to your teapot cake design, adding gold edible paint for a gilded gold finish similar to the majestic example below left by Nice Icing. Or you can add an elegant floral applique design like the exquisite design by Cakes Décor contributor, Sandra Caputo, below right.
