Gum paste rim, fondant hat. I always add cocoa powder to my brown fondant/gum paste, it helps color it and it's what you expect! The rim was...frustrating! I tried to add texture, but it didn't stick on the cake part. But, the next cowboy hat cake I make, I'll know what I'm doing! These people were referred to me by someone, and a previous bride was referred by these guys! Sweet!
