Hi everyone. I am doing a 21st cake for a guy. He is in the army and loves playing guitar so his mum has asked for this type of theme. I had thought something with camoflauge and the guitar, they want a "21". What is the best way to do camoflauge? does anyone have any suggestions on how I could decorate this cake? Getting a bit frustrated with 2 different themes, would appreciate any help. Thanks Sheryl

I made a guitar for my pastor's birthday (in my pics), and it was easier than I thought it would be. I would think that it would be cool to cover the body of the guitar with camoflage instead of wood grain. I would just make several different colors of green/brown fondant, cut out smaller shapes of them, and then roll them out together to cover the body.

Good luck!

I agree with the previous poster, I'd do a guitar with the face of it in camoflauge. Roll up fondant in the cam colors to get your look. Also, wilton has a guitar shaped pan which you could use to make it even easier. Good luck.

cool, that's kinda what I had thought. I have had a good look at lots of the pictures on cc and I am thinking I might cover the board in camo colours and the cakes (2 +1) in say green then leave a space at the front of the board to do a dog tag, the guitar, an army helmet and what ever else I can think of for guitar/army theme.

thanks for all your help!!
