I got the idea for this guitar cake after my son asked for a cake that looked like a “real” guitar. After looking for cake pans, I decided to look “real”, I must try to sculpt the cake myself.
I made 2 rectangle sheet cakes and cut the base of the guitar out of one and the handle out of the other. I iced the entire cake with buttercream and then covered the base with red fondant and the handle with brown fondant. I then rolled out the black fondant and cut it into the shape I wanted and place it on top of the red base.
This was only my second time working with fondant and it was actually pretty easy. You have to use plenty of powdered sugar as you roll it out to keep it from sticking to the surface you are working on. I used white and black buttercream to make the lines and dots on the handle and base and then used wire I had found in the floral department for the guitar strings. I piped white buttecream dots on the ends of the wire to hold it into place. I think scuplted the black tuners of the guitar with black fondant and attached them with toothpicks.
Finally, I piped a star border around the base of the cake with black buttercream. My son loved it!!
I live on Ogden, Ut…would love a cake like this for my son. Would you be willing to make a cake like this if I paid you?
