I started by sending Matt to the Top Foods to selectively dig through their candy bins (poor guy, he sure hates to have to pick out candy...) On the list was black licorice pinwheels for the guitar strings, and some kind of gumdrop candies that I could flatten out for the pick guards and such.
I found a decent picture of a bass guitar on-line and printed it out to a size that would fit on the cake. I then traced it and layered the tracings under waxed paper and piped my favorite homemade buttercream frosting onto the waxed paper. Piped waxed paper then went into the freezer; nice thing about butter cream is that it freezes really quickly. Once it was frozen I quickly and gently slid it onto the cake while removing the waxed paper from underneath.
Then I just added the finishing touches and blazow... Hot pink bass guitar birthday cake. She was pretty stoked. Matched her Dance Party theme pretty well. We rocked David Bowie, Queen and Taylor Swift like there was no tomorrow.
