How do you get the poured look on a beer can cake? How do they get it to stand mid air? And do the use a real beer can?

use a dowel and pour a hard candy syrup on it = I know there are posts here on cc that explain it exactly, but that is what they do and the can is real

You can also use a dowel and cover it in tinted piping gel. That is how I did the one in my photos.

Thank you I will try and find it..I justhave to figure out what its under
