A fabulous gathering of tips, techniques, and recipes that only Here's what one reader had to say about them: Well worth the investment. The Hat Cake instructions are adapted from Volume 2 of our Cake Decorating Made Easy Video Books. Remember to leave room for piping your Happy Mother's Day message.
The hat may be elegant, whimsical, silly, fancy, or whatever best matches the guest of honor's tastes and style. You could even create a straw hat pattern by pressing a fork into the buttercream. You may want to decorate the hat with flowers, such as buttercream roses, or with a combination of flowers and figures perhaps daisies and a bumblebee! If using fruit roll ribbon, wrap around the hat, and then tie a bow in the back, allowing ends to gracefully trail down. If using fondant for the ribbon and bow, create these separately and then attach to the hat, using icing as glue.

Then set the 6 inch layer on top, smoothing buttercream over the entire hat. If adding filling, pipe a dam with the buttercream so filling doesn't ooze out after the top layer is added. Smooth on buttercream or filling. Place the 9-inch layer on a cake plate.
Do level the 9 inch layer, which will form the brim. Don't level because the mound on the layer will give the hat a nice curve. Set aside. Trim the edges of the 8 inch layer until it is 6 inches in diameter or smaller if you want the brim to be wider in relation to the top.
