Both the body and head are both butter cake with chocolate buttercream filling and icing covered with swirled pink fondant all washed with clear vanilla and dusted with purple shimmer dust. The flames are also fondant but with gold shimmer dust. The neck is solid chocolate with inlaid sugar pearls and fondant frets. The knobs are Laffy Taffy and Tootsie Rolls. The tuning pegs are shimmer dusted Skittles and Laffy Taffy. The string connectors on the head are Smarties adorned with sugar pearls. The strap is held on with Gum Drops. The nine-year-old it went to hugged me at least 30 times. She was very happy.
