Celo's Violin

My Violin for the top of the cake, hand painted.

I made this violin cake on November 14th for a teacher's birthday at our local music school. His last name is Celo & he teaches violin & other instruments to our children in Little Falls. He has also conducted & is a great supporter for the arts in our community. The request for this cake was made by a friend who's kids have had the privilege of being tutored by Celo.  

 I made a two tiered, blue cake with a white candy border. I made a curvy staff and bright pink & orange notes & also decorated the cake with black music accents. 

 I made marshmallow fondant music sheets.

 Happy Birthday, Celo! 

 Gum paste violin & bow I made for Celo. The strings I had to re-do twice because they were so delicate. I finally figured out that I couldn't stand the violin up... I had to lay it down & then place the strings on.
