I have just spent the last 3 hours of my life making shapes with fondant. Kinda like a clay/playdoh adventure:) Even though I'm icing my son's cake with homemade buttercream icing (have I mentioned I make a kick ass buttercream icing?) I want the guitar cake to be somewhat realistic. I took plain white pre-made fondant and shaped it into what you see above.
The things at the very top of the pic are supposed to be the 'thingies' that are vertical on the neck...frets or things between the frets - I don't play guitar.
The little round things are the inlays that are on the frets...some guitars have squares/rectangles. My son's has little bitty round things
The items that resemble nipples (I know, I know) are the little knob things on his guitar and the triangle/tooth shaped things are the things you turn to tune the guitar...I knew what they were called a minute ago, but I am 37 years old and it flew out of my head.
Everything except the knobs and inlay dots will be silver. The rest will stay white. My fingers/hands/wrists are TIRED! I can barely type correctly..lots of re-typing over my errors!!!
I'm scheduled to make the icing (my kick ass buttercream icing) tomorrow. I'll make plain white, tan, maybe some grey/black or something. My mom is making some realy cool chocolates from molds that are shaped like guitars and iPods. Pretty freaking cool!!!
