My son just turned 12- being a preteen it takes a lot to “wow” him. I am not the domestic baker type, so I knew that he would be the pretty surprised by a guitar cake (he plays acoustic and electric).
My husband rented the Wilton guitar cake from a cake supply store, and he baked the cake. I made butter cream frosting and bought the Wilton food coloring gel to get the necessary colors. I used red Twizzler pull and peels coated with black frosting for the guitar strings and the lettering.
The knobs were unwrapped dollar store peanut butter cups placed upside down. I used chocolate bar pieces for the neck and the bottom of the strings (I used black frosting to fill in the spaces in between the chocolate bar pieces). The knobs at the top were vanilla skittles.
My son loved it and all of his friends told him he had the coolest cake ever!
