Rock n Roll

My first official cake order came from a family member. He wanted a customized cake for his son's 21st birthday, which was to be a decoration of a guitar, but I wanted to challenge myself so I decided to make this a 3D electric guitar cake.

To make the design I cut the cake in a form of a guitar with a stencil. Then came the tricky work of covering the cake with fondant. The initial plan was to make a blue colored guitar but as I was mixing the colors the fondant changed from a light sky blue to an amazing Teale color. As many of you cake makers maybe knowing working with fondant  is quiet a tough job but with constant practice and a tad bit of help of some measuring tools I got the design i wanted . These tools can be purchased from Cake Decorating Central in Australia (www.cakedecoratingcentral.com/)‎.

The inside was my famous chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and to get the shimmering effect I  brushed the fondant with teale luster to give that finishing touch. This was to be the start of many unique cakes to come.
