Guitar Cake Gone Bad!

Guitar Cake Gone Bad! on Cake Central

I was so proud of this cake. I sculpted it just the way I wanted, iced it nice and smooth (which I have difficulty doing so I was just tickled with myself!) then, I made my biggest mistake. I froze it. I just got my airbrush and had trouble with it putting holes in the icing so I decided I'd make the icing nice and hard. Great theory....bad outcome. I painted with gusto (Oh this is looking AWESOME!), happily blending paints and getting a marvelous effect. And then it happened. Condensation. My beautiful cake was going down....and fast. I watched in horror, silently cussing myself for my stupidity as the food coloring started to bead and sweat. Ugh. I carefully scraped off the icing and started over. Time was not on my side. I needed to bring it to my parents for my husbands birthday party. So I did the best I could and repainted it. The cake itself was still too cold though so the beads came back as it warmed up. I panicked and was sloppy on the details I wanted to do and didn't get to hardly any of them. It was supposed to be a "Guitar Hero" cake. Ah well. The best thing I can say is that I learned from my mistake and next time I'll make sure to think it through. LOL
