Question: Would it be that hard to make this cake!? (pic incl)!?
Answers:
A Grand Piano shaped cake with colorful chords!.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
2 cake mixes of any kind
1 empty cereal box
chocolate and vanilla frosting
one wooden dowel or chopstick
"pull-n-peel" type licorice
black shoelace licorice
Bake two 9x13 cakes!. Cut a rectangle side off of the cereal box!. Draw and cut a top view of grand piano shape on the cardboard rectangle!. This is your piano top/lid!. Use this as a template to cut both cakes into this shape!.

Stack the cut cakes and frost between to secure!. On the front of the cake, cut 1-2 inches off the TOP LAYER ONLY!. This makes the keys!. Frost entire cake with chocolate icing, except keys- frost keys white and make into keys by pushing lines into icing with toothpick!.
Frost the top of the cereal box with icing as well, making it thin and smooth!.

Untwist licorice "pull-n-peels" and lay them on top as the chords, cutting to shape!. Cut black shoelace licorice into small pieces for the black keys, spacing correctly!. Pipe chocolate icing around chords, keys and cake!. Add lid, securing/resting it on top of cut-to-fit wooden dowels (long one in front, short one in back!.) Pipe the hinge with chocolate frosting to secure!.

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!
