What a winer!

Oh my goodness....I did it...the wine bottle cake is completed! It's now 4:48 leaving me a little over an hour to get ready but, of course, I had to blog about it first! I put the neck of the bottle on last night and kept it in the fridge. I sculpted it out of gum paste and it worked really well. There were a couple of melt downs while working on it today with the fondant. It was a little too warm in the house and when I put it on it had a melt down...so the air got turned down waaaay low and it worked much better! There were a couple of problem spots where it was still too warm, but I managed to smooth them out pretty well. I made the label out of gum paste as well. I curved it around the same coffee can that I used to bake the cakes while I hand painted it. I used a gell mixed with vodka as paint and just got it to the right consistency. After getting the fondant as smooth as I could I applied the label with left over butter cream frosting as glue. To make it shiney I used spray pam on my hands and smoothed it over and....Ta Stinkin Da! This is short and to the point because I must go beautify!!
