Procedures:
Coat edge of ice cream cones with decorating gel; press chocolate wafer against gel to make brim of hat. Set aside.

Flatten scoops slightly to hold hats in place; position hats over heads. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until hats are set. Wrap each in plastic wrap after solidly frozen.
