This is such a pretty cake and will impress all of your guests at your next get-together. It is so easy to put together and tastes wonderful.Wanda Ward, Louisville, Mississippi Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) pound cake mix |
2 individual round sponge cakes (about 3 inches) |
1 can (12 ounces) vanilla frosting |
green food coloring |
6 prepared rose decorations |
1 tube yellow decorating icing with star tip |

Directions:
1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into a greased and floured 1-1/2-qt. ovenproof bowl (about 6-1/2 in. wide x 4 in. tall).

4. For the knob, frost the small frozen sponge cake piece; attach to lid with a toothpick. For spout, trim medium piece to desired size, cutting bottom end at an angle to fit flat against teapot; frost and attach to front of pot with toothpicks. For handle, trim ends of large piece at an angle; frost and attach to back of pot with toothpicks.
