This guitar birthday cake was made for my nephew’s 6th birthday. I used a Wilton Guitar pan. The cake took two cake mixes, and I made my own buttercream frosting. The guitar neck was plastic and came with the cake pan. I took it from it’s original white and gold color to black and white with craft paint.
The circles running down the neck were made by dipping the eraser end of a new pencil in white paint, thus making a perfect circle. I did not paint the underside that touches the cake. Wanting guitar strings that appeared firm, I took dry thin spaghetti and painted it with silver craft paint. Again, no paint touched the cake.
I attached the “strings” to the neck and base pieces with Elmer’s glue, making it simple to just lift the whole piece off of the cake prior to serving. The center hole was filled in with black frosting using a star tip. Mason loved his “guitar” cake as much as I loved making it for him!
