I could use some pointers on making a 3D graduation cap as well as a chef hat out of fondant my main concern is it's stability.
I've made several and I just cut a square of gumpaste/fondant and let it dry for several days. I also cut a circle for the bottom. I made a tassel using my extruder. My website (in my signature line) has a green 2 tier graduation cake I made a couple of weeks ago. It has the mortarboard I made.
I have to do one too. I wonder if you could bake a small bowl shaped cake, cover that in fondant, make the morter board, and then make a braid and use the extruder, as mentioned to make the tassle? That is my plan...
Question, where can i find an extruder?
I just made one this weekend. I used a round cake pan and covered it in fondant. Then I made a square of fondant and let it dry. then I put it on my cake and stuck a dowel through the square and hat and that anchored everything. As for the tassel i tried to do the rope thing but it wasn't working out. So i decided to roll out a rectangle of fondant and cut it like fringe. That worked out amazing! It's in my pics if you want to see. It was a whole lot easier than I thought.

I bought one on ebay but I haven't used it yet. It's by Makin's. It only cost 2.95 with the same shipping.
