Made for Trevor Hall's Christmas CD release party "Let your heart be light." I was inspired me to duplicate the album cover in cake form. Base is chocolate with vanilla buttercream - guitar is vanilla w/ vanilla buttercream. Guitar Neck, headstock, star, presents and candle holder is RKT Christmas ornaments - Dunkin Dounuts munchkins dipped in red chocolate and then rolled in red sugar for glitter effect. Battery powered lights and flickering candle. (non lead based)

I made some rookie mistakes. My biggest one was that I forgot to add the wooden dowels for support which of course made the cake sag a lot. I pulled an all nighter to finish this cake an hour before the event started. Phew! Also because the "paint" was still wet I had some issues transporting it and moving it with it still being tacky. Had to do some touch ups when I got to the event. This was the most challenging cake I've ever done, but it was worth it to see my buddy's face. A special thanks to Doug for his help and ideas regarding the design and support system.
