My friend did it last year! No photos to show you, but she torted three 8" cakes on thin cakeboards, stacked it with dowels between the tiers, drove a sharp dowel down the middle, froze it for a couple of hours, crumbcoated it in IMBC, froze it again for a few minutes, then used a big tip like Wilton #48 (except it was about 1.5" across) to pipe long stripes up it.

One big hint though...since it is semi-frozen, you can actually turn it on it's side to pipe these long strips! Keep re-freezing and turning to a new section to pipe more before it thaws.

It looked like this type of chef's hat in the end...

the pleating could also be achieved w/ strips of MMF or even white chocolate (my vote!)

Check out my photo album.. i used the Wilton cupcake pan.

I'm sure you could add more to it to make it look more authentic.. i was low on time and the budget for the order was too small to get more detailed.
