Alas, the pictures you have been waiting for, and some sisters who will remain nameless (Katie) have hounded me about. Hannah's tea party was so much fun. The girls came dressed in their favorite dresses and they were asked to bring a dolly. We ate lunch, decorated straw hats, drank tea, played "Pin The Spout On The Tea Pot" (a Jonathan Brooks original), opened presents, ate cup cakes, and there was still time for the girls to play together (dollies in tow)."But Lori, where is the tea pot cake?" you ask-- well, let's just say my hubris got the best of me, and by God's grace I handled the situation in a calm and dignified manner. Though I enjoyed success with my marshmallow fondant for the CBC anniversary cake, my fondant did not want to cooperate on the eve of Hannah's party. So, with my mom laughing hysterically as we tried to cover the ball shaped cake (the cake itself was a success) and mold a spout and handle, I asked Hannah if I could have permission to stop, slop some frosting on the ensuing disaster, eat the tea pot that night (her actual birthday) and serve the cute little cup cakes I had already decorated at the party. With her blessing I called it a night and enjoyed my mom's company and time with my birthday girl.
Hannah and hideous teapot cake. The color combo was even just bluck! But it sure did taste yummy!!!

I think the teapot cake looks just fine! And, I really like the idea of decorating little hats. I bet they really loved that.
I'm a little teapot short and stout.
Where is my handle, where is my spout?
I am gettin' steamed and about to shout.
Would somebody please fix my snout?
Sincerely,
The Tea Pot Cake
Thank you Tim, it has been a while since you composed a little ditty in my honor!
Love it! What adorable little girls and dolls. I don't think the teapot cake looks bad... certainly WAY better than I could've done.
The tea party looks like a grand success. How special and very inexpensive for such great memories. Looks like Hannah is growing into quite a nice young lady. Hopefully she'll still be excited to play with her boy cousin Philip! He's recently informed me that Daddy is his best buddy, not me. I'm ok with that because he says I'm Braewyn's best buddy because we're girls! :)
