Product Information

At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents. Roll out the white fondant icing and cover the cake and the Swiss roll so they create the watch shape, smoothing it down around the edges and trimming any excess.

Whip the butter and icing sugar to make the buttercream, divide up the mixture and dye each bowl a different colour. Frost all of the cupcakes in the pastel buttercream. 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. 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. 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.

Whip the butter and icing sugar together and then take around one cupful of icing to turn white, and dye the rest pink. 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! Materials Needed: 600g butter, 1200g icing sugar, pink food colouring, white food colouring, blue fondant flowers, piping bag with 'flower' nozzle, a cake stand. 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. Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children.

Make sure there will be enough room left on the saucer to put food on, if a cup is placed upside down on it. 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. Cover the entire cake in pink buttercream, this can be fairly haphazard, no need to smooth any edges. 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. 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.

More Tea? The Mad Hatter Cake

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. If you've been wondering about the best cakes for an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party that the Mad Hatter himself would be proud of, look no further.

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. 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. Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong. Sponsorship & Advertising Policy 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.Take your decorative flowers and dot them all over the cakes. The more random and mixed up the better, we want to create a bright and beautiful flower bed for Alice and her companions to stumble upon.
