This cake was a lot of fun to make. Everything except for the top is food. it is kind of a trip when you think about cigar ash but I wanted some reality in this cake and that was the one true effect that was a finishing touch on this cake. it was a challenge.

Red Hat Society Cake


Red Hat Society Cake, originally uploaded by CakesByShara.

This hat was done for my sister in law who turned 50 on Friday. The gloves were free hand cut from fondx fondant and then hand stitched with a special wheel by PME. The pearls are made from fondant and then painted with super pearl luster dust. The hat was then dusted with edible glitter.
I have a ton of fun making this cake. I hope to do many more styles sometime in the near future.
