About this deal

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. 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. This simple Alice in Wonderland cake would make the perfect accessory to your Alice in Wonderland tea party.

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.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. Find a small item to put on top. This can be anything: a tiny cup or bowl, a small box, or a figurine. I found a little candle holder.

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. Finally, if you would like to be really accurate, use one large candle right in the centre of the cake. Alternatively, you can place another blue flower here and use as many candles as you like. Do You Suppose She's A Wildflower? Whimsical Wonderland Cupcakes

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

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