Acoustic Guitar Cake

Acoustic Guitar Cake on Cake Central

Well this one is pretty strait forward although i was pretty nervous making it. I found a clipart picture online and used that to make a template for the body of the guitar. The neck was foam-board covered in chocolate fondant (which i marbled with some tan fondant). the decorations are all fondant. The tuning pieces are fondant stuck unto toothpicks pushed through the foamboard. I don't know if you can see from my picture but i tried to get that wood grain into the body of the guitar. I did so by mixing yellow and brown and orange food coloring - (actually airbrush colors) and using my fan brush to paint it on. The hairs on my brush stuck together (much like a bad mascara job) so i was able to get the lines. I made a few coats with different shade variations and on the last pass i squirted in some airbrush super pearl, i;m sure you can use pearl luster dust with alcohol. The string are simply a sowing stings i had. i thought to use floral wire or fishing line but i did not have the patience for it. maybe next time. TFL
