So would like to make this for my BIL's bday but laying down on a board.  I'll print the actual bottle out and use it as a template.

A few questions:

-While covering it in fondant what color should I start with?  There's SO much variations on this bottle.

-I do have a airbrush machine and know will be using as it really gives the cakes a finished look, but what colors?

-Lastly would can I apply to make it super glossy?  Do note as I'll be airbrushing it really would want to "paint" something on as it might ruin the airbrush look.


Thanks in advance :)

I would go with an orange - brown look.  You can steam the fondant for shine.
