I made this cake last week for my husband's birthday. Although I am not Wilton-trained (but hope to be someday!), I really enjoy making fun cakes for our family birthdays. Here are some pics and simple instructions on how to make this piano cake:
 |
| I started with a plain white cake mix, and baked it in a 13x 9 pan. I measured actual piano keys to get the right size and cut two squares of cake. Then I fit them together so they made a long keyboard and iced it with white icing. The Kit Kat bars, although longer than actual black keys, do nicely on a cake like this! |
 |
| I used Scribblers to write the message on the cake- I had just enough keys to write "Happy Birthday." Underneath the keyboard it says "to a # pianist." |
 |
| I found these adorable tiny rose candles at our local farmer's market. They looked so cute on this cake. It would have been a bit cuter with green stems...next time! |
 |
| The sharp is made from black licorice |
 |
| Here is the finished product. It was really hot the day I made this, and the icing was melting. The "black keys" were threatening to slip off the keyboard so I had to get it in the fridge quick! My husband declared the cake a winner! :) |

Looks tasty!
I'm not really a cake person (I prefer pie) but it was good. It sure didn't last long! :)
Super cute!!
Maybe I can get my wife to make me one this year for my BD. That's pretty cool.
