Hey Yall,
I am trying to do a bugs bunny old fart theme for a friend of mines birthday party...I am trying to get some medicine bottles shaped in fondant...i cant seem to get them to shape like the medicine bottles and i have taken one of mine and took the label off of it and put the fondant around it....anybody have any suggestions on how to make the medicine bottles w/lids? Any tutorials welcomed
I'm not too sure, as I have never made a medicine bottle before, however, my initial thought is to do what you did for the bottle part, by shaping it around a real medicine bottle or you could even just shape it around a dowel rod or something of similar size. As for the lid, I think you could just cut out 2 or 3 fondant circles of different sizes and make the indentations around the sides like on a real medicine top and set them on top of one another (like stacking a tiered cake)...use a little gumpaste glue to hold them together. Then you could put the lid on top of the bottle with some gumpaste glue. Good luck - will look forward to seeing the pics on this one!
I've never done it, but couldn't you shape rice krispie treats to look like a medicine bottle, and then just cover those in fondant?
You should be able to make a medicine bottle no problem. I have made a bowling pin and it worked pretty well. When I did this I covered it with BC then the fondant and you could still see some bumps, so recently when I used the rice crispy treats what I did was after it was molded to my shape I used the extra cake I had from leveling it to kind of rub over the grooves and then used the BC and fondant and it looked much better and smooth.
Good Luck!
