Some nights I sit in bed waiting to get sleepy and I wind up trolling Pinterest on my iPad. It usually just gets me wound up. I see some new cake or craft idea and my brains explodes trying to think of some way to incorporate it into a new cake design. When I saw
this mini mad hatter tutorial on
Seeing Things That Aren't Really There, I knew I would have to make one for a cake.
I made this cake for my friend Amanda's birthday. I decided on a romantic Victorian design with a hint of steampunk. For the bottom tier, I did buttercream ruffles. for the second tier, I used edible image sheets to recreate a layered ruffle design.
For the top, I used some molds I got from
Kara Buntin along with some button molds to make a small Victorian collage around the monogram. I added a lace mold to to give it little more of a feminine touch.
I really wanted to make the hat edible, but time ran tight and I just just used the paper template directly from the Seeing Things... blog. It went together pretty easily and I have have my sights set on doing it again, but out of gumpaste or modeling chocolate.
I really appreciate each and every one of you that stops by here and visits the blog. I hope you have an awesome week!
