Guitar Cake

I offered to make Teresa's best friend a cake for her Birthday. She wanted a guitar, so we thought it would be really cool if it looked like the actual guitar that she wanted, and was getting, for her birthday. Then I saw the picture and my first thought was - No way! I can't do this. But Jonathan saved me and offered to paint the picture on for me, using water and food coloring. He did a great job, and I'm so thankful for the help.


So here are the photos




The base of the guitar is the cake, the neck is made out of rice crispy treats. That was interesting too, I have used the rice crispy treats before, but didn't like how they came out. This time I took freshly made fondant(still warm) and wrapped the rice crispy treat, filling in the cracks with fondant. Then I wrapped it again in the desired color. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. Connecting the neck to the base didn't go as nice as I had hoped, but it still worked out fine. All the little details are made from fondant.
