    Here is one idea
    1. Divide marzipan into half. Tint half of the marzipan any desired color. Divide remaining half evenly into 4 separate pieces. Tint each piece with a different food colors to add variety.
    2. Shape the marzipan into rope and form the handle, lid top and spout; set aside. Sprinkle a sheet of waxed paper with confectioners sugar. Roll out colored marzipan pieces to a 1/8 inch thickness. Using 1 1/2 inch flower and leaf cookie cutters, cutout flowers and leaves. Dry marzipan decorations, uncovered.

      Bake two big round bowls of identical shape and a much smaller bowl of cake any desired shape.Join the two big peices with a thin layer of cream to make a round cake.Place the smaller peice on top of it and join it with a thin layer of cream.Cut a rectangular peice of cake from an already from baked cake for the snout join it at the side of the round cakewith help of a tooth pick.Cut a small peice of cake from the bottom to make it stand.Finally coat the entire cake with a layer of cream of desired flavours also make the snout rounded with cream.

        Here are links to really CUTE teapot cakes, with directions, and pictures.  For more ideas, go to google.com and type in "teapot cake" and click on the images tab instead of the web tab.  The first page alone has so many cute ideas!

        I don't know if these sites will help you with your daughters' princess birthday party, but I sure did have fun looking at all the cute cake ideas . . . That I most likely will never make!

        Bake the cake in two round floured & oiled bowls. When cooled cover with buttercream frosting, use this buttercream to put the two larger ends together. Let set up.  I recommend fondant icing for the handle and spout. It can be colored, and handles like clay and can be eaten if so desired! You can get it in most crat stores in the cake decor isle. Use tooth picks to secure! Good luck!

        You didn't indicate if she wants a cake that stands erect like an actual teapot, or if a sheet cake would suffice.  If a sheet cake, cut out in the shape of a teapot would suffice, that would be the easiest to do and the quickest.  If you have a large sheet pan, use two cake mixes to make a large sheet cake, following the baking directions. Once cooled, with the point of a knife, trace an outline of your teapot on the top of the cake - be sure you have your outline exactly like you want it.  Once you are sure, use a very sharp knife to gently cut into the cake, removing excess pieces of the cake as you go, from the main portion of the teapot.  Don't discard the excess pieces of cake as the larger pieces can be used to make small teacups:-)  Once you have your teapot cut out, use decorator icing in whatever colors you desire to frost the cake, and any teacups you have made from the other pieces.  

        This method of course is not a three dimensional version, but is quick, easy and accomplishes the same goal, and is very easy to serve to guest, and can be as unique as you wish it to be.  Good luck in your endeavor - sounds like lots of fun!

          Stick the cake mix in an old oven proof tea pot and cook it then try and carefully smash the tea pot off your cake and then you will have a tea pot cake.!

          I know it a year later but if you didnt manage to make the teapot cake you might still want to this year. On Ebay.uk they have a cake mould it would make it so much easier for you. Type in Teapot cake mould it is around £7
