To make a charming Easter Bonnet cake, use any favorite cake recipe or box mix.  Bake one nine or ten inch layer.  This will form the brim.  For a flat crown, also bake a five or six inch layer in a small cake pan.  For a rounded crown, bake it in a five or six inch ovenproof bowl.  Use non stick spray to coat the inside of the cake pans or bowl before adding the batter.  Bake in preheated 350° until a slim bamboo skewer inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean.

When the cakes have baked and cooled, carefully turn them out of their pans or bowl.  Place the larger layer on a flat, preferably glass, cake plate.  Frost all sides with a pastel colored Buttercream Frosting.  Place the smaller lawyer, the crown, all the way to one side (the back) of the brim.  Cover it with frosting as well.  Now the fun begins.  Use a piece of ribbon or netting of a matching or contrasting color and tie around the crown with a perky bow.  Then collect an assortment of small, non toxic flowers and us to make an attractive arrangement on your Easter bonnet.
