Sally I baked the cake (tea pot) from a round stainless steel bowl-I think you can use pyrex glass bowl as well.For the sauce and cup-I rolled my gumpaste really think lay it on top of the saucer/molded the gumpaste inside the cup and air dry for a day-just make sure that you apply liberal amount of cornstarch between the saucer/cup and gumpaste so that they can easily be remove.HTH.
