    Fender Cake

    And now for something completely different.



    Made entirely of vanilla sponge cake (except for the strings and 6 tiny lengths of flower wire). Awarded Highly Commended recognition in the 2020 Cake Professionals Awards sculpted cake category for this cake.

    SPONGE CAKE???

    Won't that hurt tuning stability?

    The sponge cake will absorb excess humidity in the air as the seasons change, and slowly release the excess moisture over time, thus preserving the stability of the neck.

    That is pretty impressive, even down to the knurled knobs on the volume and tone controls.

    If you use a chocolate veneer on the fretboard it'll sound darker.

    The question is how much it weighs though

    With set screw holes no less.

    Should have used a real hot dog for the plate though.
