This was my first attempt at the wine bottle. This was a german chocolate cake with coconut and pecan filling, chocolate ganache and chocolate butter cream icing. This was constructed out of two cakes the first was cut into a wine bottle shape and then covered in green fondant. I painted it using a blue and green food coloring gel and vodka.
