This request was for a "hat" cake.
I had considered making a large hat that was all cake, but honestly, it's much harder to estimate servings, and to cut. So, I asked the client if I could make a hat for the top of the cake. I think that the hat came out adorable! (it's gumpaste over cereal-treats, textured with a plastic woven place mat)
You can't really see it in this photo, but I cut the top of cake askew so that the hat sat at an angle. I think that that gave it more interest.
It also gave me a great excuse to use my new flower cutters!
(have you noticed that I have a problem with new tools - I try so hard to restrain myself - but look at that flower!?!!)
