Electric Guitar Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 boxes of your favorite cake mix
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup vegetable oil
– 2 cups water
– Black gel food coloring
– Silver luster dust
– Edible silver spray paint
– Fondant in various colors (such as red, white, and black)
– Silver edible beads
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the cake mix box. Prepare the cake batter by following the instructions on the box, combining the eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
2. Divide the cake batter into two equal parts. In one part, add black gel food coloring to achieve a deep black color for the guitar body. Leave the other part uncolored for the guitar neck and headstock.
3. Grease and flour two guitar-shaped cake pans, one for the body and one for the neck and headstock. Pour the black-colored batter into the body-shaped pan and the uncolored batter into the neck and headstock pan.
4. Bake the cakes according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
5. Once the cakes have cooled, carefully trim the edges of the body-shaped cake to achieve the desired guitar silhouette. Stack the neck and headstock cake on top of the body cake, securing them together with a thin layer of frosting.
6. Roll out red fondant and cover the body of the guitar cake, smoothing it over the surface and trimming any excess fondant.
7. Roll out white fondant to create the guitar neck and headstock, shaping it to fit the cake and trimming off any excess. Attach the neck to the body of the guitar using a small amount of frosting.
8. Using black fondant, create the frets and details on the neck of the guitar cake. Make small indentations to mimic the strings and fret markers.
9. Decorate the body of the guitar cake with silver luster dust to add a metallic sheen. Use silver edible spray paint to enhance the shine and give the cake a realistic look.
10. Finish off your electric guitar cake by adding small silver edible beads as tuning pegs at the top of the neck. Admire your creation before serving and impressing your guests with your baking skills!
