I usually use of my Wilson cake pans with directions. This time I needed an electric guitar design for our lead Bass guitarist in our Worship team. I … Read more
I used a 9×13 sheet cake and just cut off the top corners rounded to resemble a tombstone. The ‘50’ are cookies cut out of slice and bake in the shape of numbers. I used a grass tip for bottom. I got this idea from a Wilton book.
This guitar cake was prepared from 15 cups yellow cake batter in a Wilton square 16×16 cake pan, cut by hand to shape, and then iced with homemade buttercream that was tinted in green and black to form the different sections of the guitar. The guard is rolled gumpaste hand cut and dyed black with … Read more

I made this police badge cake for my fiancee’s birthday. I wanted it to look as much like his badge as I possible could while making sure I had enough cake to feed everyone! So I used two boxes of chocolate cake mix and baked in strange but true, an aluminum turkey pan! My mom … Read more
