Oh, to have the skill to make cakes like these. And I have the tea cup pattern she used to mold her fondant teacup. It's a Royal Albert china teacup from the Regal series. I have two of the cups in black and dark red which is packed away. My Godmother told me a collection of tea cups needs to have at least one black cup to complete a collection.

Those cakes look great. Beautiful tea cup, too. My nice ones are all packed away, shame on me! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteMaybe dig out one teacup for you to use to treat yourself special.
DeleteWow. She is an amazing artist, isn't she? I really enjoyed the video! I never heard of having a dark tea cup to complete the collection. That's interesting. I wonder where that comes from. There always seems to be interesting stories behind "things" like needing a black cup. I say things as I can't think of a better word right now. happy T Day CJ. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThings is a good word. Maybe the story came from Victorian times where there were all sorts of rules of etiquette for entertaining.
DeleteOK, I admit, some of these cakes are unique, but I'm sure not fond of that music she chose. Picky, picky me. That polar bear was created similarly to how I've seen polymer clay artists make similar animals. But that amazing tea pot and cup were out of this world. They were so well done and so wonderfully decorated, in my jaw dropping awe, I almost forgot the sing-song music.
ReplyDeleteYour cup and saucer are as beautiful as the one the lady used as a mold, but I bet you aren't going to use yours as a mold. And of course, I've never heard of needing a black tea cup to complete your set, but then, I only have ones my grandmother left me, which are obviously NOT beautiful and delicate like yours.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous tea cup and these wonderful cake decorating skills with us for T this Tuesday.
I'm usually not fond of music used as background in videos. I mute the sound. I was a little shocked she used such a delicate teacup for a mold. A teacup is always beautiful especially if it is well-loved.
DeleteAmazing cakes - they are such pros - I would like to be able to make such artpieces! A beautiful T-cup as well!
ReplyDeleteHappy T-Day!

ReplyDeleteThe video is a happy, little, time waster.
DeleteAmazing cakes, but how do they TASTE?? LOL (and I can't imagine how much they charge for the time and effort they put into them!)
ReplyDeleteI bet they taste as good as they look. And probably cost only an arm and a leg :-D
DeleteGreat and wonderful skill indeed. Thanks for sharing and greetings!
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Felicitations to you, too!
Deletethe cakes are amazing! happy tday!
ReplyDeleteMaybe something for your daughter, A?
DeleteI loved watching the video and those cakes are amazing especially the teapot, teacup and saucer - I think it may take me longer than 10 minutes to replicate it though ...lol 😁. Your black teacup is so elegant with the gold and white - I love it! Wishing you a Happy T Day! J 😊
ReplyDeleteThe video is amazing
DeleteWell i sat there and watched the WHOLE thing!! Thanks so much! That was fun! Happpy happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteHappy to provide some diversion :-D
Deletecurrently watching the great british bake off..so love baking cakes and a posh teacup too
ReplyDeleteI love that show. All the contestants are so polite to each other
DeleteThe cakes look too complicated for me. Simple is the only way to go if I'm cooking ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard the tradition of needing a black cup to complete a collection. Fun :)
Happy T Tuesday!
These cakes are beyond my skills.
DeleteThe cakes were amazing but I am in love with the beautiful china cup and saucer.
ReplyDeleteWe've just been watching the Bake off as well, they are so talented this year.
Happy T day wishes.

Amazing how they never seem to get flustered in the kitchen.
DeleteThat is an amazing video! That's interesting what your Godmother said! I need a black tea cup and saucer!
ReplyDeleteA black cup certainly makes for an unusual addition to a collection.
DeleteI was mesmerized by your the, CJ. The beaver, witch's brew and snow globe were my favorites ;-) How could anyone ever cut into one of those works of art?!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tea cup!
Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
The cakes were beautiful. After all that work baking and decorating, it would almost be hard to cut the cake and eat it. Almost. (-;
