Antique Grand Piano!

I decided to make a birthday cake for my little brother's birthday party we were hosting at our house. I thought it would be a good idea to surprise him with a cake that incorporates him favorite activity, playing the piano.

The grand piano I made is completely edible and is especially appetizing to any chocolate addict.

I created the molds to create the shell of the piano, and the various pieces that comprise the top of the piano, as well as its chocolate foundation.

The legs I personally carved using a razor blade and I was also able to carve a simple layer of Swiss chocolate cake into the shape of the piano's torso, and fit it perfectly inside.

To finish off the cake I used an airbrush to lightly administer a layer of luter dust food coloring to give it somewhat of an antique finish. Also, I placed some raspberries and cream to give the piece more of a fuller and colorful look.
