Coolest Black Electric Guitar Birthday Cake Design

This Black Electric Guitar Birthday Cake Design was made for my wonderful grandson’s 14th birthday. Steps for making the cake are as follows:

1. Make guitar pattern by tracing full sized guitar

2. Bake 2, 17″ sheet cakes

3. Lay cakes out, one whole cake at bottom, 1/2 of 2nd cake above, remaining 1/2 cut in half to create neck of guitar. Cut around guitar pattern.

4. Frost with buttercream, body of guitar in golden yellow and neck in dark brown.

5. Spray sunburst design using orange and red Wilton color spray mist.

6. Paint mini-peanut butter cups(knobs) and chocolate bars with edible gold dust for bridges. Place on cake accordingly to replicate real guitar.

7. Add licorice laces for strings. Square gum pieces mounted on toothpicks were used for tuners.
