Guitar (50's Fender)

Cut from a 12x18 sheet cake. Iced with buttercream. Decorations are made from mostly fondant. Knobs are molded white chocolate (from the lid of a tip case), the strings are spaghetti. Whammy bar is a long popsicle stick and the only inedible thing on the cake. Thanks to everyone on this site for all of their great pictures. I looked over them, got a lot of great ideas and then went to town with a picture of the guitar from the client.

I went to my local Best Buy store and traced and actual guitar. The clerk thought I was nuts, but said it was okay. I had to scale it down a bit b/c I was not able to fit the template all on a 12 x 18 pan. I did it in two parts. The body and a small portion of the neck. Then the neck was three pieces cut from what was left from around the body of the guitar. I took pictures throughout the whole process- I'd be happy to share if you'd like more info!
