Wine Press

A cake I made for a chocolate and champagne celebration, the theme this year was vineyards. 10" round iced in chocolate icing, 50/50 paste wooden slats, wood grain done with an impression mat. Painted with paste colors thinned with Everclear. Gumpaste grapes on top, Latex grapes and silk leaves at base. I made the handle of the press with a paper towel roll covered in fondant, a doweling push through the sides and also covered with fondant.

ShirleyW, you have just found a new fan, a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig one. How did you make the turning handle on top of the paper towel?

Thank you so much. I was so intimidated by this cake I procrastinated until the very last minute to start it. And to my surprise it came out just the way I had featured it in my mind.
