Vintage Hat Cake

I made this cake for Enrichment night at church. The theme was H.A.T.S. (Have A Taste of Service) and we decorated with vintage hats and other cool vintage things. Most of the people thought this cake was a real hat. What a compliment! : ) This was really fun to make, and it was pretty easy, too. It was a three-tier cake - the top and bottom layers were chocolate and the middle layer was vanilla. It was frosted and filled with chocolate frosting and I covered it with marshmallow fondant. The flowers were "fantasy flowers" made from gum paste.



I trimmed the edge a little, on the rim of the hat after this picture wa taken.







I originally decorated the back of the hat with "buttons". But I had an extra blue flower so I changed it to this.....


Which one do you like better?

    You're so talented at this! I like that you even made the little holes around the edges of the "ribbon". The details are so good!

    Excellent! I'm sure it was a big hit. And I like both the buttons and the flower, both look wonderful.
