Emma Goes to Hollywood

I was challenged to bake and decorate a guitar cake for a 12 year old girl who wants a purple and white guitar for her birthday cake. Was agonizing for the past 2 weeks on whether I would be able to execute this project successfully. The person who ordered this (U.S.A) was an old school friend, known her since we were in our teen (was not given a chance to even turn this order down!...huhuhuu)

Spent about 4 hours on the guitar cake.....sighhh. So much flaws....the only consolation is, it does look like a guitar!!! LOL

At the same time, Emma's mum is also a sept baby, so I was to bake a separate cake for May. Both cakes are kind of a birthday present for them, from U.S.A . Such a generous person you are, La.
Delivered the cakes this evening to the venue of the party and the theme was Emma Goes to Hollywood (thus, the guitar, I suppose)

Carrot cake for the guitar and Moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache for mum's cake..Thanks for viewing

I could not wait for the banquet boy to finish the 'ruffles' around the cake when I took this shot, which was suppose to cover all the 'exposed' part of the board

..and to my friend USA, thank you for the opportunity and words of encouragement!
