Teapot 3D cake

This is an easy 3D cake. It serves about 8-10 persons.








The day before the cake is assembles you have to make the accessories; let them dry for about 24 hours. Use the ball-cake pan to measure the size.







I used chocolate buttercream to put around and then coated with white fondant.

Assemble the cake and paint with dust-colour mixed with alcohol.

I chose to paint orchids on my teapot - my absolute favourite flower!

Cupcake cake pop tutorial

I made these cake pops for the Danish branch of Dr. Oetker; they wanted to make some tutorial guides for making different cake pops with their products. This was one of them.

Look further down for instructions:

You'll need:

Dark brown coating chocolate

Coloured chocolate (Candy Melts/ Funcakes) or white coating chocolate and some food colouring.

Cookie cutter; the metal cookie cutter as shown on the picture (the little green is used for the flower cake pop).
Lollipop sticks.

Cake pop dough; see recipes on this blog.

For cake pop dough; see recipes on this blog.
Use the metal cookie cutter for the bottom part of the cake pop. Insert the lollipop stick with a little coating chocolate as glue, and put the cake pops in your fridge for about 20 min.

Mould the top of the cake pop with your fingers. For the best result; make sure that the top is higher and wider than the bottom.

Take the bottom half out of the fridge, coat with chocolate, and put the top-part on before the chocolate dries.

Put the cake pop back in the fridge for 5 - 10 min.

Take the cake pop out of the fridge, coat the top with a light coloured chocolate and add springles.

Cake pop beginners guide

There are some few rules when making the sweet little cake pop treats.

1. Lollipop stick: When you've moulded your cake pop dough to the desired shape, you have to glue the lollipop stick to the dough using a little amount of melted chocolate. After inserting the lollipop stick, let the cake pop rest in the refrigerator for 20 min, or in the freezer for about 2-3 min.


2. Chocolate melting temperature; Candy Melts are not a pure chocolate product; they can be melted in the microwave or by pouring hot water into a bowl and place a smaller bowl with the chocolate inside. If you use real chocolate you have to be more careful when melting your chocolate, the right melting temperature depends on wether it is white, milk or dark chocolate. The right melting temperature;
   White chocolate: 40 degrees celcius
   Milk chocolate: 45 degrees celcius.
   Dark chocolate: 45-50 degrees celcius
   How to proceed; use the right melting temperature and melt 2/3 of your chocolate. When melted; take the chocolate away from the hot water bowl and add the remaining 1/3.


3. Cake pop temperature before coating it: You only have to consider this step if you put your cake pops in your freezer. If the cake pop temperature get to low, the coating chocolate will crack. It is important that the maximum time in the freezer is about 4 min.


4. Fluids and fats: If your cake pop dough is to soft/ wett the fat will breach througt the coating chocolate, leaving little drops on the outside. Make sure the consistency is firm elastic.


5. Where to dry: I use cake dummies, but a glass or bowl filled with sugar will do just as well.
