Hat with filigree hatbox and tissue paper!
This is part two of the Fashion Inspired Fondant: Great Gatsby Hat. The royal Icing filigree hatbox. You will need five sugar cookie squares 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 for each hat.
As I mention in the Great Gatsby hat post the sugar cookies are for a wedding in May and I thought the boxes would be little gift for the guests; I will try to remember to tell you if the hats and boxes are a success at the wedding. The bride”s mother and the bride to be loved the boxes and hat prototypes!
