My baby boy was turning 18, and he loves for his cakes to be a clue as to what he is getting for his birthday. Well, we got him a new electric guitar! Since he already had a "cheaper" guitar, and a drum set, he had to decide which one it was.
He also does not like to have birthday parties, so his girlfriend and I conspired to get a few friends together for cake and ice cream. They were mostly all musicians as well, and loved the cake!
I love the technique of cutting the fondant, and making it look like an object is "bursting" out of the cake. The guitar was gum paste. I bought a large guitar shaped cookie cutter, and then added the accents.
Bad lighting, but this is a close up of the guitar
I had done a tiny 4" drum cake for his drum teacher as a gift one time, so this was not my first drum cake.
