Default Guitar cake - tips/ideas?

Can't help with the cake but am delighted to see something Australian so
popular in the US - sorry but I'm making an assumption that's where you
live. My daughter is just about to turn 9 and I was devastated when she
announced she was too old to go to Wiggles concerts - they always play just
before Xmas in Sydney, their home town. We used to see Murray Wiggle (the
one with the red shirt) at our local library and he used to buy Indian food
at the same place as us. Our daughter refused to believe it was Murray as
he wasn't wearing red...

Good luck with your cake!
