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

Ya

I here ya.  When I tried to make Steve's retirement cake I was making a figure of him out of gumpaste. I didn't have the space I have now. I finally gave up and told him. When he saw the gumpaste figure, he complained I gave him "too much" grey hair...ha! ha! I drew on some more black hair with my food writer pen!!!!  I was actually thinking of putting the cake in the Father's day contest, but I already posted the pic here when I 1st joined. And it is a retirement cake, although it fits the theme. I had Steve under a tree, reading a newspaper, with a cup of coffee beside him. It was one of my favorites to did.  I would suggest you call your brother to help in the subterfuge.

God June - I wish!  Trying to motivate him is like pulling teeth sometimes.  I am thinking about asking my brother to invite him down to the New Forest for a couple of days (they bike together)

Well - would you believe it?  After days of lovely sunny weather, this morning is cloudy, breezy, chilly and spitting with rain, so it looks like the motorcycle outing is off!!!!  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - not many more opportunities now, I may just have to ban him from the kitchen.  Fat chance of that with all the tea he drinks.

Good Luck Katy, i know what its like trying to make a cake for the hubby's bday without him seeing it.  Last year i made a toolset for my hubby, everytime he came near the dinning area i would turn the cake around and put a box in front of it, lol.  He loved it, it was especially hard going in his work room looking at his tools as i tried to duplicate them out of modeling chocolate. Please post pics.
