Jordan's Beer Cake

I used the small oval pans for this beer cake. And one cake mix, baked according to directions.

Let cool completely.

Then place on cake board and ice between layers. After I got the blue icing on and let dry a bit, I used a Viva paper towel to smooth it out.
I used buttercream in blue, white and green.

This is not what I originally intended to do. But I found the directions on a web site explaining how to make sugar beer bottles so I thought it was worth a try.

Everything is edible except for the beer bottle label. I don't have the special printer or ink for that.

I attached the paper label to the bottles with clear corn syrup. And the 'ice' is made of sugar and clear corn syrup cooked in the microwave. Let cool and then I broke it with a meat hammer.

On the very top of the cake, after I put a thick layer of icing on, I put a piece of wax paper over the icing. Then on top of the wax paper I put a piece of cardboard covered in freezer paper, with a bit of icing so it would stick. Then I covered all that with icing.

I did this because even though the bottles are technically edible, they are made in a laytex mold. And I read that some people are allergic to laytex and it's better safe than sorry!

So after I covered the cardboard- covered in freezer paper- with icing, I started putting the 'ice' on. Then I added a mound of icing and stuck the bottle in it and continued to add 'ice'.
I placed another bottle beside the cake in a mound of icing. then I added more white icing and covered in the sugar 'ice'.

I used the # 12 round tip to add a handle on the back of the cake to look like a small cooler.
