Red Hat Cake

Lovely! Can you tell me how you made the roses?

The roses were really simple. I cut out about an inch wide ribbon of fondant and then folded it in half lengthwise. Then I rolled it up until it was the size I wanted, cut the end off and flattened the back. Hope that helps! :)

How did you make the "ball" of the hat? Is there a special cake pan you used? Also what size cake pan was the rim of the hat and the size of the hat box. I'm making this for a friend of mine and want to make sure I get the dimensions correst. Thank you!??

The "ball" part of the cake is actually 1/2 of the Wilton sports ball pan and the brim is a single 9" layer. Hat box is 2 - 12" tiers. Hope that helps :) It was harder than I thought, but turned out pretty well.

Thank you so much!!! You've been most helpful.?? You did a wonderful job, this is my favorite red hat cake I've seen.
