Does anyone know if you can make a batter bowl cake into a Hat, for St. Patty's day?? I know I could make it look very fun, but was wondering if someone had already tried it? maybe for presidents day or something? Please let me know...
 
The only way I can think of is to make a sheet cake and a cake in the batter bowl. the batter bowl cake would be the top of the cake. Cut the sheet cake to make a brim around the hat - use frosting to put the 2 together. Hope this helps
 
You can make a St. Paty's Day hat by using the deep dish baker as the base and the batter bowl as the rounded hat.

Attached is a picture of an Easter hat done the same way.

That was Great! thanks Gals!!
 
WowPamperedGinger, That is awesome. How long have you been doing this??!! Your setup looks so professional and the hat is adorable. Just wanted to let you know I was very impressed! :p
 
I've been a Pampered Chef junkie forever! I started having parties right out of college so I could fill my kitchen. (I've been out of college for a long time now!)

I've been a consultant now since July 2003. I LOVE it! I have 4 active consultants and plan to promote to director by June 30.

I also work full time as a 2nd grade teacher. I'm trying to go part time next year so I can focus more on my family and my business. I will teach a 1/2 day kindergarten instead of 2nd grade.

Thanks! The cake was actually made by a friend of mine for a meeting with Jo Price this week. It sound like something you could modify and make it work.
 
PamperedGinger - that hat cake is just too cute!!! Thanks for sharing!!! :)

How do I decorate the St. Patty's Day Hat cake?
