I hate to bug people, It seems like all I ever do is ask for help but I am in need again. I have to make 2 small cowboy hats for a cake tomorrow and I am not finding the step by step instructions my poor little brain needs. If anyone out there has this information handy and would like to share you will be my hero forever!!
Thanks!

cheat: toy hats from store
otherwise: have to mold or carve from cake.
mold: fondant probably won't dry hard if due tomorrow (would have to dry it using lots of circulating air)...so gumpaste would be better (a very fast drying, tho' brittle at times product that works similar to fondant)
or bake cupcakes and carve, then ice.
google cowboy hats for lots of images and the basic styles. most base on oval shape w/ dent down middle of top and a brim. brim would almost have to be fondant or gumpaste if want edible or paper.

Diane - those cakes are awesome!!! I will be making a baby shower cake for my sister-in-law in a few months and it will need to be cowboy/girl themed, so I might have to pick your brain about how to make the cowboy hats!!! They are excellent!!!
Those cowboy hats are awesome> Is there a tutorial somewhere for them? I may need to do a cowboy hat cake soon. Thanks.
Do you have any tips or tricks on making the mini fondant cowboy hats? I would love to hear your expert advise! This will be my first time attempting a gumpaste/fondant cowboy hat for an upcoming western themed birthday cake. Thanks so much!
