A Violin Fit For The Virtuosi

This is a 3D sculpted violin cake specially made for a young lady who plays the violin and loves listening to classical music. Much research was done on the anatomy of the violin before the start of this cake project, to the point where I can name most of the parts now... cake art can be educational too. ; )

 Voila violin!

The belly of the violin, featuring the chin rest, the tail piece and the button anchoring the tail piece...

  The tail piece holds the strings and  the strings pull up over the bridge...

 and stretch above the fingerboard, to be played by the violinist.

 f-hole on each side of the belly.

The neck and head of the violin, ending with the peg box and the scroll. The neck is decorated with sugar orchids.

Oh yes... everything on the cake is edible... including the strings!
