Coolest Guitar Hero Cake

My son wanted a guitar hero party, so what better cake than the actual guitar. This Guitar Hero Cake is the very first cake I’ve ever made and it turned out very well! I had paid a stiff price for my youngest to have a first cake done professionally and decided I would do it myself. I have never taken any classes, so anyone can do it because I am not crafty!

I baked this cake using two regular sheet cake pans and cutting the shape of a guitar out of the cake. I used wax paper to trace an actual guitar controller, cut out the picture, and placed it over the cake and simply cut out the shape in the cake using a butter knife.

I frosted the cake (deep red and black take lots of dye to achieve the right color.) For the buttons I piped buttercream onto wax paper and dyed it to match the buttons, I shaped them and place them in the freezer to harden.

For the wah wah bar I used a straw that I spray painted (just cut out the very small piece of cake it was inserted in and throw away.) Everyone was amazed and suddenly you’d think I had a cake business. Everyone wants me to bake for them, only it is very time consuming and I am no professional. I have created about 20 more cakes in a years time. Anyone can do it!
