how to make the a bottle cake ‘shiny’ like glass?

Hiya,

I will be making a wine bottle in a wooden crate cake soon and was wondering if you had any tips as to how to make the bottle ‘shiny’ like glass?  brush it with vodka?  clear piping gel?

 

Thanks 😀

I have used Squires confectioners glaze. Its good to get a real glossy finish.

Hi Jean,

Glaze or lustres are best. Vodka would just evaporate – well it does in my house 🙂

Thanks Paul – I thought that but I’ve heard people suggest this :-S

 

It;s the wine that evaporates in this house – just as well the bottled for the cake will be an empty fondant one !!

 

Jennifer:  That sounds nice & easy – but will it not be greasy ?  This is a wedding cake so I don’t want it to be greasy :-S

 

Thanks

Thanks for all your answers – i found a great wee helping aid – clear piping gel, slightly watered down with a touch of water and some almond extract 0 worked a treat 😀
