Magic Hat with Rabbit Cake

The body of the hat are two 9 inch round cakes (from a mix) and the brim of the hat was a cookie (also premade dough) and dyed with black color paste before baked. The hat is frosted with canned frosting dyed black. (If you cannot tell, I work full time!) My efforts went toward making the fondant wand, gloves, rabbit, cards and name placques, which I made a week in advance. The fondant pieces were all decorated with edible markers. The entire cake was edible. You cannot tell at this angle, but there was a white fondant strip around the brim of the hat to mimic a satin band. Obviously, the theme of the party was centered around a magician, who ended up cancelling on us due to weather. But at least my son still had a cool themed cake.
