You just inspired me...i was planning on doing a red wine poached pear cake for my mothers birthday in a few weeks and this video totally helped me figure out how to put it all together....thank you
Your cake is beautiful! Some truffles or coconut jelly beans might have been nice inside the bottle instead of it being empty. Gorgeous cake! Thank you for sharing.
It is so much fun to watch all of these amazing videos! You are full of creativity and passion! My 5 year old found you somehow and now we're "binge watching" as much as we can! Haha : )
hi. I love all your videos! easy to follow. I want to make this cake. how many layers of cake did you use? 9x13 pan is not very tall but your finished cake is pretty tall. thanks!
@ Haniela's Amazing!! I recently received a request to do a cake similar to this and had no idea how to make the wine bottle. I'm not great as yet at carving and gumpaste came to mind with no idea how to create the bottle with the gp. My second thought was cake but I want the cake to be afforbable for the customer. I will give this a try as the time for the cake is drawing near. Thank you!
Haniela, I love your tutorials. Wish I had discovered you earlier but I have and that's a blessing. I love this wine bottle. Q. Could the sides of the crate be made with fondant instead of gum-paste? How do you cut the cake with gum-paste around?
Hello Christine Bartholomew. Thank you. I would remove one long gumpaste panel before cutting into the cake. I think you should be able to do it with fondant too. Here is what I would do: I would remove some of the cake from the top layer just so there is a slight cavity where you can set the wine bottle so it looks like it's sitting in the crate. Cover the cake with fondant, use wood grain impression mat for the texture.
Hello, was the wine bottle gumpaste mould that you made towards the starting of the video hollow when you kept it over the cake crate or did you fill that too with cake?
Hi Haniela, Thank you so much you are so talented and create, very inspiring. Quick question, can you make a full bottle from Gumpaste? if so, any tips?
+Janna Pechersky Do you mean a full 3D bottle? I believe you can, just make 2 halves, and then glue them together, if needed shave the edges for a tight fit.
This is great & I'm sorry if someone has already asked, but how long could the wine gumpaste mould last & could it be kept in the fridge if I'm in humid conditions? Also can the box gumpaste 'walls' be made & kept in advance? Thanks a lot, any advice is appreciated.
+NaafiFudge Gumpaste Thank you, bottle and the walls should be made in advance so they dry properly, you can make them months in advance actually and store them in an airtight container, if you live in a humid area, I'd put either some rice in the container or food grade silicica gel packets. They both absorb moisture really well. Keep the gumpaste pieces away from the direct sun light. I wouldn't really keep it in the fridge for a long period of time, when you are making cake that's fine to keep it chilling but if you keep the gumpase in the fridge for weeks I'm afraid it would start to break down absorbing the moisture present in the fridge.
That's great, thanks so much for the detailed response, I've heard more from you than I heard from a cake shop staff member this afternoon :) Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Dimy Ssg I'm not sure, I think modeling chocolate is probably not as strong as gum paste, I'd be afraid it would get soft with just a little bit of heat.
OMG, this is so beautiful! My brothers ask me for a bottle cake to his birthday, I know this is what he has in mind! I don't have the airbrush, how can I paint the wood?
Thank u so much .I am going to make mine soon. I don't have air brush .what else can I use to give it that realistic finish. Please what colour did u use to cover the cake.
Chinwendu Ramsay You can simply make marbled gumpaste, use light brown, little bit of dark and maybe touch of ivory. Roll them out into a snake, twist them into each other and roll out, use the silicone mat to create wood board or if you don't have the mat, you can use a fondant tool to make lines that look like wood grain. I would recommend color mist by Wilton in place of an airbrush but I don't think wilton has brown spray.
Hello Haniela. Thks for this wonderful tutorial. May I ask if it is ok the panels leave gaps at the corners iike yours? Did you purposely made it that way? Thks in advance =)
Hello, You don't need to leave gaps at all, sometimes my measuring catches up with me later..;-) Good luck with the cake,I'm sure you get many compliments, it is a fun cake to make.
Hi another quick question. If the bottle is 12in tall, what size should the cake be? Would I get off with a 12 in cake, or would I need at least a 13in (I plan on cooking one cake and cutting it in half - so the 12in would have ended up as 12x6in or a 13 x 6,5in). any suggestions welcome. I don't have 13in cake recipe either, oh well. I just don't want this to end up being an enormous cake. thanks for your help. the video was great, I now feel I could make a good attempt at this cake.
Yvonne, you can make it smaller when using smaller bottle. I made one last year with a smaller bottle it was fantastic. With a 12 inch bottle you need just a little bit of room around the bottle so you can put into the "crate" So let's say you bake 1 cake that is 12x9 inch. If you trim 1/4 inch from each side that will give you 11.5 x 8.5, cut in half you have 2 cake layers 5.75x4.25 inch, height approximately 1.5 inch per cake layer, so 3 inch total for cake layers, let's say you are adding 1/2 inch thick layer of buttercream between the cake layers that will give you 3.5 inch cake height, and if you add 1/2 inch buttercream on the sides of the cake especially the ends that would bring you to 12.5 inch length with the addition of wood boards to make the wood crate, let's say each board is a little under 1/4 inch thick, so that will bring you let's say to 12.8 inch, you should be able to snugly fit the bottle in, now remember bottle will be a bit longer than 12 because of the gumpaste, so you need to calculate that also.
nkemjideka nwachukwu yes label is edible, it is made out of the frosting sheet, it is edible image. I took my template to a local grocery, at the bakery department and had it printed there. Hope this helps. Bottle itself though made from edible materials is not meant to be eaten.
Thanks for another great tutorial !! Love this cake ...so creative ...what will you come up with next !! Best Channel on the web ...watch your channel everyday ,,, repeats always seem like a new tutorial everyday !! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!! This is like the 3 rd time watching this tutorial ..x
Josephine Botchway It really depends on the size of the cake you are making, pretty much any grocery store that has a bakery would be able to make the edible print for you, just call them ahead and ask if they can do it.
What color did you use for the bottle ??? Looks like black/purple tint & also don;t have a air bush gun , can use a white dust for the bottle to give a little shine
Susan Kang you have a good eye! In general black does have some purple tint in it.Yes you can use white dust to give the bottle little shine, what would make it really shine though would be corn syrup. You can add some alcohol to corn syrup and brush it with that. I haven't tried it myself so I'd probably first try it on a piece of gumpaste just to see what happens. Good Luck and keep me posted how you project goes.
Can I use fondant instead of the gum paste so people can eat it? or if I just add some tylose power will it harden up enough to stand up like a box and still be nicely edible?
If you don't want to make a crate with gumpaste panels(you can use fondant with tylose to make quick gumpaste, but I still wouldn't eat it, personally I prefer to eat the cake instead). I would remove some of the cake from the top layer just so there is a slight cavity/dent where you can set the wine bottle so it looks like it's sitting in the crate. Cover the cake with fondant, use wood grain impression mat for the texture and distribute coconut or chocolate shaving around the bottle. Hope this makes sense.
I have one more question lol. It's getting slightly hot here..not too hot but warm. Can we put the cake with the gum paste in the fridge? or will it be fine left out? and if I only decide to put the cake in the fridge and then decorate it with the gum paste while cold will that cause the gumpaste to sag or melt? also was the cake frozen when you were cutting and sizing it?
I had in the fridge overnight it was fine. Yes, that is how I decorated the cake it was chilled when I was adding gumpaste planks. Hope it works out for you. Good luck. I haven't frozen the cake. At the party, it was left at room temperature and then cut. After in case you have leftovers you can wrap it good and freeze it for later. Let it defrost wrapped and then serve.
Hello Hani, On your Wine Bottle Cake tutorial. What did you mix the color mix with? Was that egg yoke?( for the line around the bottle cap) And what was the label size? Thanks
Jen McG Hi Jen, gumpaste dries rock hard to support the design. If you plan on using fondant, I'd add Tylose powder to it, you can transform fondant to gumpaste that way. Gumpaste is better to use if you plan on making the panels like I did.
You just inspired me...i was planning on doing a red wine poached pear cake for my mothers birthday in a few weeks and this video totally helped me figure out how to put it all together....thank you

+SilverKitten1 Thank you.
@ Haniela's Amazing!!
I recently received a request to do a cake similar to this and had no idea how to make the wine bottle.
I'm not great as yet at carving and gumpaste came to mind with no idea how to create the bottle with the gp.
My second thought was cake but I want the cake to be afforbable for the customer. I will give this a try as the time for the cake is drawing near.
Thank you!
Thank you Kay. Good luck with your cake.
@@Hanielas Do you have a gumpaste recipe you used to make the bottle?
@@Hanielas Oh sorry, I found it on your website
This is amazing! What else could I use instead of cornstarch at the beginning of the video to coat the actual wine bottle?
sophie last potato starch or something of that sort should work.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It's really helpful
Thanks for a very good tutorial. Easy to follow.
+Annette Bøgen Thank you Annette, glad you liked it.

Great tutorial. Beautiful. Thanks
Great .... Know what I'm gonna do for next cake!
Love this tutorial!
Thank you so much!! My cake turned out amazing!!I wish I could show you a pic!!
Hello, was the wine bottle gumpaste mould that you made towards the starting of the video hollow when you kept it over the cake crate or did you fill that too with cake?
it looks so real!
Love your tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
This video was so so so helpful thank you so much ❤️
Grace Carolan Thank you Grace.

Cristina E. Gracias.
Haniela's Impresionante, como todos tus trabajos....No dejas de sorprenderme.
Me encanta tu canal y felicidades.
Hi Haniela, Thank you so much you are so talented and create, very inspiring. Quick question, can you make a full bottle from Gumpaste? if so, any tips?
Yes you can. I bought chocolate bottle mold from candy store and made it. it's cheaper to buy there too
+Janna Pechersky Do you mean a full 3D bottle? I believe you can, just make 2 halves, and then glue them together, if needed shave the edges for a tight fit.
+Haniela's Thank you! Sounds like a plan. 😊
Lovely, can you use fondant instead of gumpaste?
Wow... this looks great! Great video!
Love this! Isn't the gumpaste really hard to cut through? Wouldn't the panels snap when you try to cut them?
Hello onetier. I removed one long panel before cutting the cake.
This is great & I'm sorry if someone has already asked, but how long could the wine gumpaste mould last & could it be kept in the fridge if I'm in humid conditions? Also can the box gumpaste 'walls' be made & kept in advance? Thanks a lot, any advice is appreciated.

Hi,
Great tutorial. May I ask where you bought the silicone mat for the wood grain? Thanks!
Hello Marilyn, here it the link for the silicine mat www.chineseclayart.com/ChineseClayArt/store_fd.asp
Could this work just as well with modelling chocolate? Have been thinking of making a cake like this. Thank you for your tutorial, very helpful!! 😁👍
Dimy Ssg I'm not sure, I think modeling chocolate is probably not as strong as gum paste, I'd be afraid it would get soft with just a little bit of heat.
Thank you!!
Wow dear simply amazing!
Thank you Danni.
Great tutorial!
Ok awesome thanks. The black gumpaste..how did u achieve that colour? I can never get black..it just turns dark grey or dark purple colour
Let it the gumpaste rest covered well overnight. It also helps to airbrush the bottle once dried.
OMG, this is so beautiful!
My brothers ask me for a bottle cake to his birthday, I know this is what he has in mind!
I don't have the airbrush, how can I paint the wood?
You can creating shading with cocoa powder mixed with powdered sugar or starch, use a dry brush.
@@Hanielas wow, thank you so much for your fast comment! So clever! I will try, before or after dry?
Hi. This looks awesome. I want to do it for my birthday cake this week. How can I get that nice wine bottle label design?
Yira Mercedes email me hanielas@yahoo.com

Can i just use ready to roll icing for the panels? Or does it have to be gumpaste
perfect !!!! what the normal price for this cake ?
So beautiful!
Can’t believe I’ve never seen this 🤷🏻♀️I could use a bottle ... make that a case of wine🤣. Super great cake!
Omg this is such an old old video. It was my first wine bottle cake. I've made a handful of them since this one. So many mistakes in this one though.
Awesome tutorial - thanks!!
+Java Junkie Thank you.

Lynnette Caldwell on a tray, exposed to air so it can dry out completely.
wonderful video.thanks.
Valdinemarshall Marshall Thank you so much.
Great job...2 thumbs up
Thank so much for this tutorial.please i will like to know if the wine lable is edible and how can i make one. I really want to try this.

Thanks so much. Definitely waiting for more videos from you. You rock!
How cool! Amazing!
You are amazing Haniela; thank you for you share
Thank you so much Ece.
Hello on your wine bottle cake what are the wooden dots for that you put on the board and can any cake be used? Thank you
Rachel San Miguel They are nails. Yes pretty much any cake can be used.
Thank you so much.
This is fantastic beautiful. The whole thing is edible. Grest
Rachel San Miguel Thank you Rachel.
Can any cake work or does the pound cake work better
Rachel San Miguel pound cake is sturdier but for this any cake would work, it's a block. What kind of cake where you thinking?
That was simply amazing!!! I love your videos! How much did you charge for that cake? Susan, from Texas
this was really good Haniela
but just one question
can the wine bottle shape u made be used as a mold for baking itself?
technical question. :)
Hi Ali, you can't baked in the bottle shape, it is made mostly out of the sugar so I'm pretty sure it would melt.
Thanks for another great tutorial !! Love this cake ...so creative ...what will you come up with next !! Best Channel on the web ...watch your channel everyday ,,, repeats always seem like a new tutorial everyday !! EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!! This is like the 3 rd time watching this tutorial ..x
Susan Kang That is the sweetest comment Susan. Thank you.
Super nice!
Great video! What's the starting price for a cakes such as this and also what stores would make a print of an edible paper? Any place specified?
Josephine Botchway It really depends on the size of the cake you are making, pretty much any grocery store that has a bakery would be able to make the edible print for you, just call them ahead and ask if they can do it.
Thank you
That's amazing cake!
Thanks Loretta.
Love love this so interesting

Hello Hani,
On your Wine Bottle Cake tutorial. What did you mix the color mix with? Was that egg yoke?( for the line around the bottle cap) And what was the label size?
Thanks
That is gold luster dust to get the gold color. I ran out of powdered form so I used wilton gold mist spray instead. Label is 3.545 x4.725inch.
Thank you.
Thank you for this! Followed exactly and it came out awesome!!
That is wonderful, I'm glad it worked!
hi. can you give me a link to the site you created your wine label on? it is so pretty!!!! thanks.
I made the label myself. Message me I can send you a template hanielas@yaho.com
Thats awsome
i really have to make one right now
Hi, I was just wondering if I can use fondant instead of gum paste? Is their a difference? Cheers
Jen McG Hi Jen, gumpaste dries rock hard to support the design. If you plan on using fondant, I'd add Tylose powder to it, you can transform fondant to gumpaste that way. Gumpaste is better to use if you plan on making the panels like I did.
what a wonderful job,pls were is ur location.tanks i learnt well.
Yetunde Alaba Thank you.
Ok thanks because I tried colouring gum paste to black but it didn't work but that helps thanks!
Jen McG It is very hard to color it black, airbrushing or using black food spray will give it a true black color.
Thank you so much👍
How many layer is the cake? I notice you trimmed to make it longer . But did you cut the trim piece as well?
Hi Kimberly, I'm sorry but I don't even remember how many layers, but I usually do 4 cake layers or more. I like layers.
