Wine Theme Cake

Wine Barrel

Gum paste grape cluster
Wine Barrel

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Advanced Fondant Techniques »

Instructions

The wine glasses are plastic but you could make them from sugar for a totally edible cake. The grapes are gum paste so they would be removed before cutting.

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Casual


Materials

Fondant and gum paste

What was your inspiration?

The cake was red wine and chocolate and I wanted the wine theme to be reflected.

What are you most proud of?

I love that the cork is so realistic I was a little hesitant about air brushing it but am pleased with how well it turned out.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make all your gum paste items in advance, this will make sure they are dry enough to work with. When I marbled the fondant for the barrel I didn't want it to look too marbled just a bit knarelled.
