The base was bought from B&Q and I used MDF so that it wouldn't weigh a hundred tonnes. Plus word to the wise (as I was uber lucky ...) make sure you measure it so it fit's in the vehicle that you are going to transport it in .. not only that it will fit but that it will be able to be put in the vehicle without any problems!! Then clean the board and painted it with Wilton holly green colour paste watered down and used a pastry brush, whilst still wet I covered the board with edible art glitter and left to dry. The cake was made up of 4 base sheet cakes. One was used for the right hand smaller point of the guitar and with the excess of the trim used to make the point on the left side higher. The 3rd is used for the base of the guitar and the shaped by carving semi circles on each side, cover in sugarpaste and leave to dry. I then cut another base sheet in half and made the shaft then covered it in black sugarpaste ... adding a roll of fondant between the base and the shaft (a: to attach the two pieces together and b: to bring the gap up to the same height). Decorate as you see fit!! ... and then glaze using Wilton's Clear Glaze to give that shiny effect and then pray as you drive it to your destination in the car!
