Thanks everyone! After receiving so many requests for instructions from my other cowboy hat cake I knew I would be making another one some day and documenting it. Here it is! I will be putting it all together in the next week. Cookie4 - the "rhinestones" are the jewels that Kincaellan (from CC) sells. There is a thread on CC about these.

Great job! Very Pretty!

Fabulous job. It is amazing.

Great looking cake, I usually use the jewels coated in lustre dust but it's nice to see them used clear and still sparkling!

The surprise party was last night. Everyone loved the cake including the other customers at the restaurant. People kept coming to the door (of the private room where we were) and just staring at the cake. They couldn't believe it was a cake. It tasted great too! Everyone came back for another peak after we cut it - I guess to verify that it really was cake!

Why would you be disappointed? This is so neat! I love the belt buckle with her age on it... nice touch!

Thanks! It's growing on me. It just wasn't as nice as i'd have liked it to be. Too many things didn't go as planned.

The hat looks great to me, I'm sure the BD lady will be very happy!

Thanks! I think she will too!

Wow - I just love the hat cake. I live in Texas and sure could make/sell these all day long. What are the rhinstones made of? Please do post your instructions in detail - I'm sure many of us would like to make this. Thanks again for sharing your photos.

This is an awsome cake! You should be proud!
