Vegan Santa Hats Recipe

Vegan Santa Hats! Please note… Santa was not harmed in any way for the making of these hats. He was purely used for inspiration. This recipe was SUPER QUICK to do… all I did was make up the parts of our Vegan Lemon Tart and changed how I assembled it. Simples!

A couple of simple steps and you have yourself some super cute Vegan Santa Hats!
