My Wine Bottle & Crate Cake

I made this cake for my Uncle's 70th Birthday. He thought it was real 
I made a Pina Colada Cake with toasted coconut for the topping to look like packing material. I marbled chocolate and vanilla fondant mixed with tylose powder to allow it to get hard for the crate. The Bottle is rice krispie treats molded and covered in fondant. I made the bottle shiny by coating it with piping gel. The label is an edible image. I got this idea from the many people who posted wine cakes here in CC. Thanks to you all for your inspiration.
LOL, no he wasn't disappointed, just shocked. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Was this your first wine bottle cake? it is amazing, i agree it looks real! fantastic job!
Thanks for your great comments This was my first wine bottle cake and it was fun to do thanks to all the others I saw on here first. The red part of the bottle is just a strip of fondant wrapped aroung the the top as well. The piping gel did stay sticky but, it didn't matter until it had to be lifted off to cut the cake. It wasn't too bad though.
This is beautiful! I read another thread recently where a CC'er recommended mixing vodka or everclear w/ the piping gel which would evaporate and dry the gel enough to take away the sticky. I haven't tried it though.
