Harry Potter was again a theme and this time a sorting hat was to be made. I had zero clue how to approach this so I basically started winging it. I made 6 layers of cake (used 5, plus a couple of ramekins to make the tip, and a giant marshmallow). Buttercream icing between the layers and chocolate fondant covers it all.
This went significantly more smoothly than I anticipated actually. I am grateful the hat is old and mishappen as my fondant ability is not great so it all kind of works. All in it took me about an hour and a bit to ice, carve and finish up.

Dirty layer of buttercream for under the fondant
Fondant layered on and molded as best possible

That's one of your best Marnie! Hope you all are doing well (and happy birthday to you :)
