1. Make a template of the shapes needed to make a guitar. Use them to cut shapes out of the cakes. Glue the pieces together with a little frosting on your board.

2. Level the top of the cake.

3. Mix up a batch of pink frosting.

Spread over the top and sides of the cake. Pipe beads of frosting around the bottom edge. Place the cake in the refrigerator until the frosting gets firm, about 30 minutes.

4. Mix up a batch of edge royal icing. Color it pink to match your frosting.

5. Mix up a batch of flood royal icing. Divide into three bowls. Color one bowl orange, one yellow, and one pink.

6. With the pink edge icing, pipe a line around the top edge of the entire cake.

7. Spoon the pink flood icing onto the cake top to completely cover the cake.

8. While the pink flood icing is still wet, pipe yellow and orange flame shapes on the body of the guitar.

9. Let the icing harden for an hour.

10. When the icing has hardened slightly, but not completely set, place on the candy details. Place six chocolate bar pieces on the neck of the guitar.

11. Place two long chocolate candies in the middle of the body. Place another long chocolate candy at the top of the neck.

12. Align six sugar pearls along the bottom edge of the last long chocolate candy on the body. Put six pearls along the left edge of the top of the guitar.

13. Place three chocolate-covered mints and one candy-coated chocolate along the right side of the body.

14. Place a few melting wafers in a small zip-top bag. Leave the bag open and microwave on the defrost setting for 30 seconds. Squeeze the melted candy to one corner. If the wafers are not soft yet, microwave on defrost 30 seconds more. Then snip a small corner off the bag.

15. On a piece of wax paper, pipe six strings of chocolate, long enough to go from the top of the neck to the body. Let them harden for an hour. Then place them on the cake.
