Need Help With Juke Box Cake For Grooms Cake
Decorating By candyladyhelen Updated 12 Mar 2006 , 10:49pm by Crimsicle
I have been searching the net looking for a sample of a juke box cake. To no avail. They want a free standing juke box, to feed 90/100. Colorful, like the Wurlitzer juke boxes. I can't find a photo. I was thinking maybe stack 13x9 cakes up then sculpt the top to be the curved top of the juke box. If anyone has any suggestions how I can do this, I would be so appreciative. Also, if I stack these cakes, and it turns out really tall, will it travel well? I am stressed out over this, as the weekend it's due, I have 2 wedding cakes & 2 groom's cakes. Help please! Helen
I think the sculpting would work out fine. I think I would put a couple (maybe even 3 or 4) of dowels down through the whole cake for traveling though. That could potentially get ugly if it's not very secure.
I found this cake online. The photo was not on a cake decorating site, so there are no instructions, but you might find it helpful. Happy deocorating!!! Don;t forget to show us your pics! 
i don't have any ideas for the design but you can make your jukebox play music by adding a music button. i did it for my daughters birthday everyone thought it was neat. just place the music button on the base of the cake and camougflage it with some icing around the edges.
ok first a site to help...photos of all kinds of models (tho' the ones most like what they want are from the 1940s) w/ lots of close ups of details.

as for construction....yes, can stack..just like a stacked wedding cake (dowels to support layers)
tho' for top, I'd just get a 12 inch round pan and bake layers and split in half. why carve?
as for all the detail work would probably do either royal or fondant so can get brilliant colors and exact shapes easily.
I'm sorry...if there's a way to add more than one picture per post, I haven't figured it out. You could glitz this up with piping gell, luster dust and petal dust all over the place. I think they would LOVE it! To feed that many people, you'd have to print the sheets in pieces, but this design lends itself to that quite well. You'd just have to know pretty much what the dimensions would be up front.
