My grandson loves guitar’s, so we made this cake for his 13th birthday. We have a large family and the guitar by it’s self was not big enough, so we put it on a 13 x 19 base cake. The guitar is chocolate with chocolate icing and covered with black marshmallow fondant. We made the fondant with marshmallow cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar. It tastes sooo much better than the store bought kind. The base cake is marble, both cakes were from a mix. The base cake, was frosted with dark blue butter cream icing and decorated with sugar decals we got in a Duff Goldman guitar cake kit. The black base piece of the guitar also came from the kit, everything else is eatable.Bridge pieces are white butter cream, and the strings are yellow butter cream. The guitar pattern was also in the kit. We use the pattern to cut the guitar shape out of a 13 x 19 cake. The guitar was heavy,so we put it on it’s own board, cut to shape. Then we used cut straws pushed into base cake to support it. It took a whole bottle of black gel food color to make the fondant. It took several hours to make this cake, but it was worth it. My grandson and his friend’s loved it, they thought it was the coolest birthday cake ever. We froze the cake left over from leveling the cakes and cutting out the guitar, and made a really great chocolate/berry trifle a few days later.
