This cake is a replica of the birthday boy's new electric guitar. The child requested this directly from me (bypassing his parents) 3 months ago! Chocolate cake, buttercream and fondant accents. Strings are the only inedible part, After reading a lot of previous posts I decided to go with metallic thread. It is about 3/4 size of the real guitar. i used a 12 x 18 cake and cut and pieced it.
