3. Print a generic top hat profile from the internet, or draw your own, approximately 3.5” tall and 2” wide. Cut out the paper profile to use as a cutting template for fondant. TIP: water-resistant leftover backing from Edible Image® decorations makes wonderful template material.

9. Use black icing in a #3 round tip to pipe the inscription and monocle.
10. Use red icing in a #3 round tip to fill in the inscription, as shown.
11. Finish with one Mustache Dec-Ons® decoration below the monocle. I say!
