I am decorating a cake for a 21 year old birthday. My theme is bottles to bottles. The top tier will have a baby and baby bottles. The bottom tier will have a young man and beer bottles. This is the first time I have worked with a fondant/gumpaste mixture, and the first time I have tried figure shaping. I guess I took too long as some of the man is very dry looking. Is there anyway to get rid of that look? Also, is there anything I can brush on the beer bottles to make them look more shiny and more realistic? I am just a self-taught hobbyist and really have no clue with this one. Thanks!
