Hatbox Cake

Hatbox Cake on Cake Central

This is my first attempt at a hatbox cake! Wow was it a lot of work!! There were a lot of challenges and things that did not turn out like I wanted but overall I am pretty happy with it. I made it for my grandmothers 80th bday.

Thanks everyone! The lid is actually gumpaste that I molded out of my cake pan. I was very nervous to try this as well!
