Tip
To make a gumdrop hat, roll out a large gumdrop on a generously sugared surface. Cut 1 rounded piece to look like the top of the hat and 1 straight piece to look like the brim of the hat as shown in the photo. Overlap the pieces to make the hat: pipe decorator gel over the seam for the hat band.
