This is the first time I have tried to do anything like this, but am so please with the results.
I made a chocolate sponge, with chocolate buttercream filling. Then craved into the shape needed for the piano, covered with black fondant. The most challenging part of the cake for me was how to cover and support the lid. With the help of a covered board and a fondant covered support made by my husband. Together we had the lid and support stable.
The wood floor effect was another first for me and a couldn’t be more happier with the results. Has made me want to do more hand painted cakes in the future.
White fondant will be my new canvas. :) x
