Happy 1st Birthday Cupcake #2! October 2002

I made this guitar cake with a guitar cake pan and piped the brown part of the guitar with chocolate icing. This was a difficult cake to make, I remember and I quickly learned that piping icing is a tedious and time-consuming technique, although the results look nice. I decided on the guitar cake because Cupcake #2 loves dancing and rocking to the beat and rhythm of music The circular frame in the background is filled with month-to-month pictures of Cupcake #2's  growth in his first year of life. I have a frame like this for each of my children and it is a beautiful keepsake to see how much they change and grow in only a year!
