Step 2First, bake yourself some cake.
Before you can turn a cake into a piano, you need to bake the damned thing. I recommend some easy out-of-the-box mix, since the cake is going to be covered in frosting anyway, and everyone's going to be so focused on the amazing likeness of a piano that taste will be of little to no concern. So really it doesn't matter much as long as you satisfy the following three criteria:
- Cakepan is rectangular or square -- NOT ROUND -- and please, no castles.
- Finished cake has enough structural integrity to hold up during frosting
- Do not make something so good you can't help eating it yourself. This is a presentation piece, after all.
One last thing about the baking: I should note that the finished cake need not be tall at all; in fact, the ideal height is just about an inch -- the height of a piano key. But any height will turn out very effective, so don't sweat it.
