4Using a small spatula or a very flat knife remove bonnets from rack while scrapping any any frosting drips from edges. Pipe drops of frosting desired around base of hat top, for a ribbon effect. Pipe dots for flowers and lines around bottom of brim, as shown.

5** OPTION: You can use candied flowers and leaves attached with a dot of frosting. Even a very narrow ribbon tied , around base of hat, and tied with a pretty bow. I am a Queen of my RED HAT SOCIETY group ..and plan to make some RED HATS for my SCARLET FLOOZIE gals. Maybe purple hats on there birthday month! What fun!!!!
