I must be as search chanllenged on this site as I am on most others
I only came up w/4 or 5 cowboy hats.......I'm sure there must be many more with soooooooooo many pix on here
I'm especially interested in 2-d this time. Have very limited supplies (pans) to work with and figure I'd carve it from a rectangle.
I do best from seeing something to copy and need it in a day or so.
If you go to the galleries and click on search, type in cowboy hats and it gives you two pages of cowboy hats. Hope this helps.
You can make a cowboy hat out of the oval Wilton pans for class II. Just stack several high and notch out and shape the top cake. For the brim, I go 3" outside of the pan and make a template, cut out in gumpaste. Then I lay it on a piece of foam with one of the pans in the middle (to make sure you don't curve it too much for the cake to fit into), curve up the sides (place books under the foam) to hold the brim shape until it dries. I cover the cake in matching colored fondant, set the cake on the brim and style a hatband out of fondant to cover the seam. Sorry I don't have a picture on my computer to send you.

Thank you Rosita for pointing me to that section. It was just what I wanted and I found some good ideas.
I appreciate the suggestions on making a 3-d hat but I have *very* limited supplies to work with and am some 5 hrs from the nearest store. I will work with what I have - one 9" round; one 6" round; a rectangle approx. 10"x12"; fondant and canned b'cream
