Front view of the Wine Bottel birthday cake.Wine bottle made from gumpaste shaped over a wine bottle and left to dry for several days, then i painted the bottle and dusted it with oyster luster dust once it dried. I used white chocolate shavings to memick the packing styrofoam, added gumpaste grapes and grape leaves. Covered the cake in fondant and used a wood technique for the sides

Hi june, how have you been? I havent been doing alot lately, but i have a tasting for a wedding cake on monday. Yes i do have a FB page.
Thanks Monica - that's what I reckoned had to be the case. Let's hope he's out of the way tomorrow so I can give it a trial run.
Do you have a Facebook page Monica?????
What have you been up to lately Monica????? :o)
hi katy:
You only cover half of the bottle with gumpaste, i covered the bottle in cling wrap and spray the cling wrap with oil sprayso u can assure it doesnt stick.
Hi Monica - I'm back. Thinking of trying to do this tomorrow (he should be out for a bit if it doesn't rain!). Do I assume you only cover half the bottle with the gumpaste? Or do you cover the whole thing and then cut it down the middle, take it off and stick it together? Thanks!
Thanks a lot Monica!
LOL, yes katy be my guess, when you place the gumpaste on the wine bottle to dry make sure you have dusted the wine bottle with cornstarch so it will not stick. Holla if you have any questions
Excellent! Hope you won't mind, but you have just given me an idea for my hubby's birthday cake. It's not till June, but I have to try and do bits and pieces in secret (very tricky when he's retired and at home all the time!). I always have trouble thinking of a theme for him, but he really is a 'lil ole wine drinking man' (thanks to Dean Martin for the phrase) and this would be a really good idea for him! May I take your idea?
thank you ladies
