You just inspired me...i was planning on doing a red wine poached pear cake for my mothers birthday in a few weeks and this video totally helped me figure out how to put it all together....thank you
Your cake is beautiful! Some truffles or coconut jelly beans might have been nice inside the bottle instead of it being empty. Gorgeous cake! Thank you for sharing.
It is so much fun to watch all of these amazing videos! You are full of creativity and passion! My 5 year old found you somehow and now we're "binge watching" as much as we can! Haha : )
@ Haniela's Amazing!! I recently received a request to do a cake similar to this and had no idea how to make the wine bottle. I'm not great as yet at carving and gumpaste came to mind with no idea how to create the bottle with the gp. My second thought was cake but I want the cake to be afforbable for the customer. I will give this a try as the time for the cake is drawing near. Thank you!
Thanks for another great tutorial !! Love this cake ...so creative ...what will you come up with next !! Best Channel on the web ...watch your channel everyday ,,, repeats always seem like a new tutorial everyday !! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!! This is like the 3 rd time watching this tutorial ..x
Haniela, I love your tutorials. Wish I had discovered you earlier but I have and that's a blessing. I love this wine bottle. Q. Could the sides of the crate be made with fondant instead of gum-paste? How do you cut the cake with gum-paste around?
Hello Christine Bartholomew. Thank you. I would remove one long gumpaste panel before cutting into the cake. I think you should be able to do it with fondant too. Here is what I would do: I would remove some of the cake from the top layer just so there is a slight cavity where you can set the wine bottle so it looks like it's sitting in the crate. Cover the cake with fondant, use wood grain impression mat for the texture.
hi. I love all your videos! easy to follow. I want to make this cake. how many layers of cake did you use? 9x13 pan is not very tall but your finished cake is pretty tall. thanks!
Hi Haniela, Thank you so much you are so talented and create, very inspiring. Quick question, can you make a full bottle from Gumpaste? if so, any tips?
+Janna Pechersky Do you mean a full 3D bottle? I believe you can, just make 2 halves, and then glue them together, if needed shave the edges for a tight fit.
OMG, this is so beautiful! My brothers ask me for a bottle cake to his birthday, I know this is what he has in mind! I don't have the airbrush, how can I paint the wood?
Dimy Ssg I'm not sure, I think modeling chocolate is probably not as strong as gum paste, I'd be afraid it would get soft with just a little bit of heat.
Hello, was the wine bottle gumpaste mould that you made towards the starting of the video hollow when you kept it over the cake crate or did you fill that too with cake?
This is great & I'm sorry if someone has already asked, but how long could the wine gumpaste mould last & could it be kept in the fridge if I'm in humid conditions? Also can the box gumpaste 'walls' be made & kept in advance? Thanks a lot, any advice is appreciated.
+NaafiFudge Gumpaste Thank you, bottle and the walls should be made in advance so they dry properly, you can make them months in advance actually and store them in an airtight container, if you live in a humid area, I'd put either some rice in the container or food grade silicica gel packets. They both absorb moisture really well. Keep the gumpaste pieces away from the direct sun light. I wouldn't really keep it in the fridge for a long period of time, when you are making cake that's fine to keep it chilling but if you keep the gumpase in the fridge for weeks I'm afraid it would start to break down absorbing the moisture present in the fridge.
That's great, thanks so much for the detailed response, I've heard more from you than I heard from a cake shop staff member this afternoon :) Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Hello Haniela. Thks for this wonderful tutorial. May I ask if it is ok the panels leave gaps at the corners iike yours? Did you purposely made it that way? Thks in advance =)
Hello, You don't need to leave gaps at all, sometimes my measuring catches up with me later..;-) Good luck with the cake,I'm sure you get many compliments, it is a fun cake to make.
