How to Make a Guitar Cake

Easy instructions for making this guitar cake:

This cake was forty inches long. The body of the guitar was cut from a large sheet cake. The neck of the guitar was from a 9 x 13 cake cut in half lengthwise. If you do not need a cake this big, just make a smaller cake. The following instructions are still the same.

With an icing filled bag, and round tip size #5, draw a guitar on the cake. Cut the cake away to get the guitar shape making sure wherever you use the pieces as part of the shape, you use icing to hold it together.

Cover the white area of the guitar using white icing and star tip #18.

Next, cover the black area using black icing and the same size star tip.

Cover the tip of the neck with deep yellow and the same size star tip.

Fill in the body of the guitar with red icing and the same size star tip.

The strings are piped on using black icing and round tip size #5. I used a yard stick to lightly mark where the string lines would go.

Finally, write your message on the board with white icing and round tip #5.
