Practice Guitar Cake

Guitar Cake

This guitar cake was made using the Wilton guitar pan.

I used one cake mix. One mix overfills the pan. I also used a loaf pan for the extra mix.

After baked, cool completely.

I cut the neck of the guitar because in my opinion, it's too short and not proportional.
So I used the loaf pan and cut a piece to fit and made it the way I wanted it.

I also cut a bit out to make it look more like an electric guitar.

I used buttercream. The fondant was only for the pieces.... knobs, frets and such.
The marbeling was done with buttercream and a Viva! towel. {Thanks Nancy!}

The strings are dental floss. {Thanks to the Master decorator in our town! He sure didn't have to share that with me!Thanks Danny!}

I needed this trial run before the 2 I'm doing for a grooms cake next weekend.
