I made this for my grandfather who loves to play the guitar. The fret board is made from solid chocolate. The cake was carved from (2) 11 x 15 sheet that were stacked. over all this cake was almost 4 feet long. I didn't think about that when I was planning it our in my head. It almost didn't fit on the table. I wish I would have slowed down and done a better job on the strings, but oh well. He loved it.
