I made this Fender Strato Birthday Cake for my partner’s daughter’s 22nd birthday. She plays a pink strat in her band – so this was perfect for her. The cake is chocolate sponge (actually 3 were used in total, cut to shape and joined together) topped with apricot jam, then iced.
The template was taken from a real guitar, and as much detail as possible added after. Toothpicks with icing for the strap buttons, tuning pegs and switch. Chocolate toffee Rolos (covered with icing) used for the volume/tone knobs, and silver thread for the strings. Dabs of icing coloured silver for the screw heads and pickup magnet pole pieces, and black edible colouring icing pen used for the frets etc.
The scratchplate was made for marzipan, and the neck was brushed with light gold colouring. Oh, and a licorice stick for the lead! Pretty cool…eh?
Hey, this is the most realistic looking one I’ve seen! Love the color too. Really good work – must have taken you ages!!!
