Good morning, I will be making an Ice Bucket cake that has actual glass alcohol bottles incorporated into the cake design.  What can I use to support the bottles so they don't crush the cake?

Put each on a cardboard round and use a dowel (straw) to support it.   If the bottles are close together, maybe one larger piece of cake board will work so it can be better supported - dowels/straws spread better apart.

Thank you, this is the cake. So the dowels will go in the cake and the cardboard will go under the "ice"?Cake Support

Yes,......covering the whole top would be best.......better support for the weight of the bottles.  I would put 5 straws in the cake.  You really won't need an actual support straw under each bottle......just support the whole board by putting the straws about 1" in from the edge of the cake - spread them evenly around.
