2. Hat From Salami For Kids Party
So cute and simple technique how to make a hat from salami. Great for a kid’s birthday party or other kid’s events. I use my salami hat to cover fun heads made out of hard-boiled eggs. The hat can be used for other food decors as well. For example, it can be a hat for a cheese ball in the shape of showmen or a hat for snowmen from boiled eggs. Our imagination doesn’t have a limit!
When we make decorative details for any party but especially for kids, I suggest using everything edible as decor. So, if someone wants to eat garnish it will be always a pleasant experience. To make the eyes I used linen seeds, the nose I made from capers, and the mouth from a small piece of salami, it is what I had on my hand. However, we can use pimentos, olives, vegetables, gherkins to make eyes and nose. To make round eyes we can use straw as a cutter. Another simple method – drow the face with food markers.
