Stylin’ on the Runway!

 “Fashion a la Mode”

 

Hats!  Chapeaux!  Cappellos!  Sombreros!

 

It’s a fashion show!  Let your creative sense of style loose! 

Create a fancy hat, and then parade it on the runway at our DOS on Sunday, April 3. 

Judges will choose the best, and the winner will receive a very nice prize. 

Anything goes…..but of course anything cake- or sugar- related will score more points. 

So start designing….and then get out your piping bags, needles & thread, glue guns or even duct tape!  Go “fashion forward” with color! 

Let’s show that the design houses in New York and Paris have nothing on Michigan ICES!

 It will be fah-bulous, dahlings!
