Not sure what to charge my cousin for a 16th birthday guitar cake, its for her son and she said not to big a cake. Just want some advice, I don't have my own business, I just make them from home mainly for family members. any advice appreciated.

since it's family, twice the cost of the ingredients that way you get something and they appreciate it more :) and yes you can charge more than that.

Les Paul Electric guitar for a 16yo's B-day. Done is the Sunburst style...Triple chocolate cake/vanilla buttercream - MMF...everything is edible, except for the strings - they are done with embroidery floss

FYI - The details take a TON of time.

both of your guitar cakes look like tons of work and lots of time invested.  Pretty good cakes!

Oh, and to get all of the details right I printed out detailed plans for the guitar I was recreating and then scaled then down to size so that I could cut them out and trace them as needed.  After they dried I airbrushed them silver/gold/etc. I also used string for the guitar stings (nothing else looked quite right....)

Muddy:  as I said above that's a cool cake, but that's a really well logged photo tutorial on your guitar cake.

 

You really 'rocked' it by keeping the photo's going.  And nice of you to share with the CC cakers.

Beautiful cake! If you don't mind me asking; what did you eventually use for the strings please? Thanks.
