The guitar cakes

This is the art work I made this cake from....This cake was an epic event. I was forced to level up with this birthday. My sister asked me if I was I could help out a friend of hers for her son's 18th birthday. I asked her what he liked to do and was told...guitars. Then it came out that he had a drawing on his wall that he had done for art class and that it would be great if it could be reproduced on a cake. I thought...ok....sure. I can do that. I'll cut it out from the drawing and recreate it. Well that's just what I did.

I started with a chocolate cake for the large portion of the cake and then I made little cake with the one guitar.

The drawing for the small cake looked like this...


I painstakingly mixed colors until I had the correct color icing to match the drawing. I had little bowls of different colors covering my countertop so I could hold them up the the original drawing. This isn't fondant. It's icing.

Here is the chocolate portion covered in it's icing.
I had to divide the picture into 2 cakes...one reason - because he wanted his own kind of cake (red velvet) and the second reason - because the drawing was larger than my biggest sheet cake. It worked out well and everyone inhaled both cakes so that makes me happy!!

Once again....go back to the top and look at the art work. I made these cakes from that drawing. I'm still pretty proud...
