Downton Abbey Period Hat - 122F

Cake is two layer chocolate sour cream cake using a 6 inch round pan and one of the pans from the ball pan set. The red leaves on the side are made from a mixture of modeling chocolate and fondant/gum paste mix. The 'cake stand' is actually a candle holder that holds a votive cup but my husband cut out my plate from wood and then glued 2 round pieces of 1inch pine in the center that fit snugly into the hole where the votive cup would normally fit. The hat itself is covered in half gum paste half fondant mix. The rose is black fondant dusted with a gray/super pearl luster dust mix. Thank you for looking.

Comment by Lydia Beier on February 18, 2012 at 2:53pm: Linda, I am teaching some teen girls cake decorating and we were just doing ribbon roses. I had a few examples of their use and when the girls saw this they were impressed and inspired! Their flowers got much better after that.

Comment by Linda Wolff on February 18, 2012 at 1:08pm: Thank you both, Edith and Kariema. Edith, the black band underneath is a strip of black fondant, and then the 'bling' on top of that is a strip that I cut from a cake fabric (Non edible) that CK products makes.
