ROCKIN' OUT FOR JAIME'S BIRTHDAY

Aloha!! We are going to continue our blogs with music!! We had the soundboard cake this past Wednesday for Star 101.9's Morning Show and now we have a guitar cake for Jaime's birthday! This is actually our first guitar cake! We were so excited to make this cake. This cake was for Jaime Giambrone over at Pacific Edge Magazine. Yesterday was his surprise birthday party held at E&O Trading Company. What a great restaurant. I always love going in there!

Naomi, Jaime's wife contacted me last week about his cake. Jaime loves to play guitar and she also mentioned he is a fan of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. So I wanted to incorporate all these things in the cake. I happen to love the Chili Peppers as well. They are one of my favorite bands. For inspiration I played Blood Sugar Sex Magik, my favorite album by them. We actually used real guitar strings for this cake. It was an interesting trip into the store to get the strings. when i told the guys i needed strings but they were for a cake I think they thought I was crazy. But whatever it takes to make a cake look as real as possible. That was the only non-edible thing on the cake. everything else was made from sugar!

(If your in Kailua head over to Coconut Grove Music Store for your music needs!! The guys were very helpful)

With the help of Morgan at Moana Events, the party stayed a surprise. We walked in to deliver the cake and they had used red and black colors with small disco balls hanging and some really cool rockish amenities all over.

We had a lot of fun making this cake. We learned a lot too. And are excited to make more guitars! Check out some of our new cakes posted at http://www.sunshinescakecreations.com/ We have been super busy!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIME!!
