Would your wife do this for you?

Have a look at the site for the detail that's gone in to it.

Meh. That one's got too much neck relief.

My Mrs made me a guitar cake last year and this year, for my 50th, a drum one. By 'drum one' I mean it was round and sort of cake shaped. Did have a guitar drawn on it with icing. I'm off sugar so had one piece and it, then together with my apple pie, it went to the local old folks' home.

Baaastards.

Yeah, my wife did that for my 40th. Think yours had a better luthier though.

That's a very thoughtful wife right there.

I've just asked mine to buy me a real 1963 Stratocaster instead, to save the baking challenges.

My girlfriend is not really a baker, so if she tried this cake would probably end up with a solid ash body. :congrats:

My wife made me a guitar plugged into an amp. We weren't married at the time so I was living in a flat with 3 other people. The black icing on the amp made the black skidmarks in the toilet last a whole month. We still have lols about our black s**ts....

Gonna be a lean 40th for me next year. We're off to Europe for a couple of weddings. For the price of the airfares alone I could buy a Bogner and and R9... :|

That's amazing! Usually, cake guitars look kind of "blobby". This thing looks almost realistic! :thumbup:

Think it has more to do with a baker who actually cares what things really look like.
