The Guitar Cake

This cake is one that stands on its own. We were asked to do a guitar cake for a lady who has a son that turned 16 years old. This would be a replica of a guitar that the kid wants and that he will be receiving for Christmas (he doesn't know that of course). The trick about doing this guitar cake was the paint job. I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to make it look like the original. I used gel food coloring and paint brushes and the painting took about 2 and a half hours. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.We made all the pieces by hand and most were edible. The neck and the strings were non-edible. The client was ecstatic with how it turned out and later wrote us an e-mail to tell us that the cake was delicious too and that the birthday boy was surprised and happy with his cake! What do you all think?
