WINE BEER AND SNACKS 010

So it's finally done. Think I may have overstretched myself a bit here! Wine bottle - gumpaste moulded over real bottle. Beer bottle - hand shaped (which is why it's so rubbish) from rkt covered in fondant and painted. Both labels hand painted, wine bottle to reflect hubby's favourite tipple. Box - vanilla sponge with apricot conserve, framed in June's chocolate fondant (the mess I got into with that is a whole other story). Fondant came out looking a bit like leather to me so I pursued that theme, studding the corners and 'stitching' the edges. Snacks - stilton in fondant, marked in navy paste, peanuts and biscuits in rkt coated in cinnamon and edible glitter. The dish has yet to be removed as it won't dry! Final touch of a sugarpaste rose (his birth flower for June), made to resemble the rose my mother bought him for his birthday a lifetime ago, but that is still flowering like a trooper every summer. I'm exhausted, but all in all, reasonably happy with the outcome. Eyesight has been a real trial with this one!
Oh and packing was grated white chocolate and packing peanuts in gumpaste

Comment by Katy Nott on June 21, 2012 at 8:27am: lol Linda, thanks so much. I know all about floaters btw, as well as my blind spots and distortion, I have something called a Weiss Ring, which is like a huge ring that moves around my eyesight. Really tiresome. Anyway, the gloss came a little from the colours (I used very, very slightly diluted gel colours - gooseberry and eucalyptus), then sprayed it twice with PME Edible Glaze Spray.

Comment by Linda Wolff on June 21, 2012 at 8:15am: Katy, this turned out just unbelievable! Everything looks so awesome! Your wine bottle looks so real! What did you say you sprayed it with to make it shine? I have read and reread and can't find that info. (I haven't got the best eyesight either. I have floaters in my eyes that cloud my vision as I read)

Comment by Katy Nott on June 21, 2012 at 5:36am: Thank you very much all. I lost count of the number of coats that wine bottle had to get it right. Finished it off with a spray of edible lacquer
