Wine Bottle In Bucket
Thanks to Relznik and Kelly75 for the inspiration for this cake. It was for my sister's birthday. She only likes strawberry cake and cream cheese icing, so that what I did. The cake was really too moist to hold up to the weight, so there is about 25 supports inside. The icing was a nightmare to get to crust, so forget getting it smooth. I tried to make the ice bucket look old. Wine bottle is a rice crispy treat covered in fondant, handles were gumpaste, cake was 3 8" rounds.
Looks great to me! Bet your sister loved it!
hi! looks great! May I ask what you used for the ice?? Was it rock candy?? Thanks!
Yes it was rock candy. Mixture of 1 to 1 corn syrup and sugar cooked to 350, but be careful not to burn. It will yellow or brown if you do.
