Holy Cow! Yes, it would be hard!. Not only to shape the base of the cake after it's cooked in a regular cake pan, but to attach the cardboard(!?) piano lid and to paint those piano keys would be extremely painstaking and time-consuming!. I would suggest that you leave this one to the experts! It is a beautiful cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You would need a large enough sheet cake to cut and trim to look like the shape of a piano!. A large enough piece of chocolate (thin) to set on top and candied flowers to rest it on!.
The keys pad and musical notes can be done with decorating icing piped on!. or toothpicks!. You may even need to incorporate some royal icing to make sure it holds together!.
Check in your local area and see if there is a cake decorating shop that can offer assistance!.
Looks yummy!
