| Shannon Sylvestor has been a decorator for 16 years. This Red Hat Society cake is one of the bakery's most popular designs. |
 |
| Pipe a circle of red icing in the center of the cake. Press three cupcakes together, and place them on the red circle to create the main hat. |
 |
| Use tip No. 6 to pipe red icing over the cupcakes. Be careful that the crumbs do not get mixed in the icing as you smooth it over the cupcakes. |
 |
| With tip No.234, pipe tufts of red icing along the bottom edge of the cake. Release the pressure on the bag as you pull up to create this 'boa' effect. |
 |
| Pipe white vertical lines with tip No. 48. Space them about one to two ins. apart. In between the straight lines, use tip No. 6 to pipe zigzag lines. |
 |
| Create the top border by piping pink and orange daisies around the top rim of the cake with tip No. 104. |
 |
| Finish the Lazy Daisy design by adding yellow centers to the daisies with tip No. 6 or 7. |
