V&A Alice In Wonderland 3 Tier Cake Stand Serving Set, Cake Standing Set, Gift Boxed

Product Information

For your cake, you will need to triple the sponge cake recipe above. Use the method from the mad hatter cake to trim and flip your cake to create the slightly wobbly un-birthday cake shape. Sandwich the layers together using the pink buttercream.

Bake three cakes using the method above. Whip the butter and sugar together and use the buttercream to sandwich the three layers together.

Create signs with arrows leading to the Alice in Wonderland themed tea party, bunting and lacy table cloths will add a fancy vintage touch. The Mad Hatter is an iconic Alice in Wonderland character and this topsy turvy Mad Hatter cake is our tribute to him. When Alice stumbles upon the Mad Hatter and his upside down tea party, she is handed a spectacular 'un-birthday' cake. Here's how to recreate your own. Cut a 10cm slice of Swiss roll, and place this at the top of the sponge cake, cover both cakes with a thin layer of buttercream to create a crumb coat.

Take your sponge cake and fill the centre, either with just buttercream or jam too, sandwich the two layers together. We’re all mad here! In homage to Lewis Carroll's classic book, our Alice in Wonderland party supplies, decorations and tableware are designed to help you escape your everyday life and tumble down a rabbit hole of your imagination. Perfect for providing some inspiration for your next Tea Party, Alice in Wonderland party theme, Baby Shower or Mother's Day table. Step three, which is already the final step, is glueing everything together. Use a type of glue that is suitable for ceramics, preferably a transparent glue. I used epoxy glue. Using a sharp knife, trim the cake to create a wide cone shape, with the smallest part at the top. Carefully lift the cake and flip over, this is now the main part of the hat! Use buttercream to fix the cake to the cake board. Cover the cake with a thin layer of buttercream as a crumb coat. Roll out the fondant icing, and cut a long rectangular strip for the brim of the hat, put this to one side and cover the cake with the remaining green fondant. Take the long strip of fondant and arrange this around the base of the cake.

Kidadl is independent and to make our service free to you the reader we are supported by advertising. Make time for tea and delight you guests with our beautifully illustrated Truly Alice party range. Transform your home into a Mad Hatters tea party by hanging our teapot bunting on the walls or between trees, then add our oversized Alice in Wonderland decorations and photo props to feel like you have shrunk in size – just like Alice! Take your white buttercream in the piping bag and pipe dots of frosting all the way around the edge of each layer, the base and the top. Place the blue fondant flowers around the edge of the top layer.

The first thing to do is scoure thrift shops for cute, old fashioned tea cups and saucers. You’ll want to mix and match: combine cups of a certain design with saucers of a different design, but do try to make them go together in a certain way. Match by color, type of decoration, rim design, or some other aspect. This simple Alice in Wonderland cake would make the perfect accessory to your Alice in Wonderland tea party. To make some little Cheshire Cat cakes, cut strips of fondant in pink and purple and create stripy cupcakes, you could even decorate a whole cake like this, complete with a Cheshire Cat smile. Get cups and saucers in different sizes, so your cake stand will taper towards the top in stead of going straight up. Look for small plates as well as saucers.You could also use other items to put in between the saucers, like candle holders or egg cups. Or vary with cups placed upside down and right side up.

Materials Needed: 600g butter, 1200g icing sugar, pink food colouring, white food colouring, blue fondant flowers, piping bag with 'flower' nozzle, a cake stand. Don’t glue everything together all at once. It is safer to do it in two steps: first glue each cup to one of the saucers. Wait for the glue to dry and only then glue the sections together. This will prevent the items coming apart again or shifting when you place them on top of another section. Cover the entire cake in pink buttercream, this can be fairly haphazard, no need to smooth any edges. Roll out your white fondant icing, using a round cookie cutter roughly the same size as your cupcake, cut out enough circles to cover all of the cupcakes. Using a pastry brush, put little warm jam on each cake and place the icing on top. The Queen of Hearts is one of the most fierce characters in Wonderland, but even she couldn't be mad about these perfect wonderland themed cupcakes.Wrap the green ribbon around the base, securing the price tag. Finish off by painting on the gold dusting powder with a small brush, around the top edge of the hat and around the edge of the rim, just to add a little sparkle! Who's Been Painting My Roses Red? Queen Of Hearts Cupcakes If you’re anything like me, you’ll be tempted to do everything at once anyway. Take my advice and refrain from doing so – go do something else in between while you wait for the glue to dry, because watching glue dry is like… well, watching paint dry I guess. We have some amazing ideas for some truly out of this world Alice in Wonderland cakes. When it comes to going down the rabbit hole, more is more - but don't worry, these cake ideas are simple and easy to follow, as the Cheshire Cat himself says, "for me, myself, personally, I prefer the short-cut", and we agree! A tea party is not complete without cake! Add the finishing touches to your party table with our ‘eat me’ cake domes, ‘drink me’ tags and tree shaped cake stand for an eye-catching table centrepiece.
