Why not go Semi-homemade...
buy the sponge/angel food cake, one round to shape that has the hole
for the guitar and a long bar type cake you can cut in half and make
the long part of the guitar. Use red/black candy whips for the string.
Maybe use jellybean type candy to stick out on the sides at top for
the string. You can use some of the left over candy whip to make
"notes" on the guitar.
I once made a "Pool Party" cake for one of my kids...
regular cake frosted. Make a blue pool area, using frosting dress
"Teddy Grahams" in bathing wear. Couple of toy palm trees etc... was
a big hit. She's 22 now and still talks about it.

Thanks Chilichick!

I was hoping to make the cake from scratch. I made the sponge cake for
a semi truck that we had and it was really dense, easy to cut & carve
etc. I had a hardcopy of the recipe and have since lost it....

Thanks,

Kevin
