Tea Pot Cake
1. First, purchase and prepare your child's
favorite flavor of cake mix according to
directions; bake using a round ball cake
pan (sold at kitchen shops).
2. Purchase refrigerated sugar cookie dough
or prepare your own recipe at home.
3. Roll cookie dough to the recommended thickness
and cut into the shape of two identical teapot
handles and two identical spouts. (Note:
Make extra pieces, just in case the cookies
break.)
4. When the cookies have cooled, place frosting
on one teapot handle cookie and stick the
other one to it. Do the same for the teapot
spouts. (This strengthens both the handle
and spout.)
5. When cake has cooled, assemble it according
to the directions included with the pan.
6. Then, carefully press the cookie handle
and spout into the cake.
7. Decorate the teapot with icing, using
a star-shaped frosting tip. Bring the teapot
house to life by drawing two eyes and a door-shaped
mouth. Add a maraschino cherry for it’s
round, red nose. Enjoy!

to cool.
5. Arrange them on a serving platter and
refrigerate until serving time.
Tea Time
Be prepared to offer your guests a beverage
