The brief was a birthday cake for a lady having a (70th) 'Seven-Tea' party, complete with 1940's vintage tea ware.....well, when I suggested a 1940's Tea Pot cake, that was met with a welcome reception...........however, I was told that the recipients favourite colours were hot pink and black....not exactly conducive to a chintzy teapot, so after much head scratching, i came up with a pretty good comprimise, a replica of a genuine 1940's JAPANESE Teapot, the design was originally in blue so I replaced the blue with pink, and voila.............. :)
