When I was first asked to create a guitar cake for a 15 year old boy's birthday I thought it would be a fun challenge. Then I was told that the recipient, Aidan, was a teen musician that made his own replica Eddie Van Halen Frankenstein guitar...I actually got nervous! I tried my best to focus that energy on the details: the haphazard black and white stripes over the red base, the silver hardware including tiny screw heads, and (most importantly) the quarter! I was relieved when Aidan gave me his stamp of approval...I believed the words he used were "You're my hero", but who's counting.
Happy 15th Birthday Aidan...you rock!
