The One That Started It All

My Grndma started taking fiddle lessons a couple years ago, and I decided I wanted to make her a fiddle cake for her birthday...
No fondant- just buttercream and some tootsie rolls to make the tuning knobs and the chin rest. The bridge is a graham cracker, and the strings are jewelry wire.
 My aunt did cakes for several years, and she had one of those food color airbrushes - that's how I got the wood color effect.
Mom calls me crazy for starting out with something so complicated, but I knew what I had in mind and I just went for it. I had so much fun making this cake!
