Place one 6-inch and 5-inch strip together, pressing together at uncut ends. Repeat with remaining strips. Randomly press pairs of strips on top of two-thirds of cake, overlapping as needed and allowing strips to hang over side of cake. Spread reserved 1/4 cup frosting over top of hair.

I made this cake last year with the help of my grandson. Was easy to make and inpressive. Only problem was the waffle cones went soft, so recommend if you are making it for a special event put the hat on just before serving.
