Caitlin's Guitar - $120

I was particularly pleased with this one. It's the first time I have made a guitar cake and the end result was recognisable, if not playable. Everything on it, except for the strings (wire) and the tuning keys (fondant and toothpicks) were edible. I think the hardest part was making the sheets of music. Since I don't read music I have no idea what tune the notes were composing, I just copied down what I found on the internet.

Matthew's Guitar - $110

I had a bit of fun making this one. The cake was fairly straightforward but I had been given photos of the electric guitar Matthew was getting for his birthday and asked to replicate it. I am proud of what I ended up with as I had to make the template freehand and I don't feel I am much of an artist. What I am most chuffed with is the detail - the guitar even has six strings attached. These I made with some gold glitter thread I had left over from a cross-stitch project. The amp was a last minute decision but it just finished the cake (and gave the guitar something to lean on). All in all a really cool cake.
