Strike up the Band!!!

Well after last week's drum cake it was only right that we have another instrument to add to our cake band!!!! This is a Gretsch Country Gentleman's Guitar for a customer's husband. This cake was designed to be about 75% of life-size scale

Underneath that "wood" body is about 30 servings of rich, fudgy, moist chocolate cake surrounded by light chocolate buttercream! Yummy.... The neck is made of supports and fondant...the hardware is gumpaste (sugar)...and the strings are embroidery thread to add a realistic touch to the cake.

Check back next week to see the cake I'll be making for a guy who's beaten the odds for 10 years and really deserves a great cake!!!!
