All right with this one please dont pay any attention to the mess surrounding the cake! This cake was one of my few meltdowns. Our friends daughter was having an Alice in wonderland 15th birthday party. So she wanted a chocolate mocha cake for the hat and then the bottom was a basic white stacked cake filled with buttercream. So the bottom turned out awesome, then it was time to make the hat. I found an awesomely yummy recipe for a chocolate mocha cake that I baked in different shaped pans and then stacked with the mocha cream as the filling. So to make a long story short this is the third attempt at the hat after the first one collapsed and then was thrown on the floor, then after being re-baked again it was not tall enough, so finally a third batch was perfect! The brim of the hat was made from gum paste which unfortunately cracked when I added the cake to it, then my first time airbrushing had the purple way darker than I had intended. But thank goodness the party was on Halloween night which made the cake seem perfect!!
