How can I create div with a pointed top with CSS - html

Question

I've see a lot of threads remotely related that basically suggest CSS triangles in the ::after or ::before pseudos, but none have really panned out. I'm throwing this out to see if anyone has any ideas.
I'm looking to create a div with a pointed or pitched top that still maintains a uniform border and box-shadow with the rest of the div.
See link for an image of what I'm trying to create:

Answer 1

If you dont want to use a image you could do something like this. But working with an image is lot easier in this case.
body {
background-color: #CCC;
}
.wrapper {
}
.outer {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 205px 32px 205px;
border-color: transparent transparent #ffffff transparent;
position: absolute;
}
.inner {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 200px 32px 200px;
border-color: transparent transparent #ea2225 transparent;
margin-left: -200px;
margin-top: 5px;
position: absolute;
}
.fix {
background-color: #FFF;
height: 10px;
width: 410px;
position: absolute;
margin-top: 32px;
}
.red {
width: 396px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #ea2225;
margin-top: 37px;
position: absolute;
border-left: 7px solid #FFF;
border-right: 7px solid #FFF;
border-bottom: 6px solid #FFF;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 5px 5px 0px rgba(48,48,48,1);
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 5px 5px 0px rgba(48,48,48,1);
box-shadow: 3px 5px 5px 0px rgba(48,48,48,1);
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="fix"></div>
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="red"></div>

Update
This is an updated fiddle which is much better presented.
.first {
display: inline-block;
width: 3em;
height: 3em
}
.second {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
width: 3em;
height: 3em
}
.third {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
width: 0;
height: 0;
line-height: 0;
border: 1.5em solid transparent;
margin-top: -1em;
border-bottom: 1em solid #007BFF;
left: 0em;
top: 0em
}
.forth {
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
width: 0;
height: 0;
line-height: 0;
border: 1.5em solid #007BFF;
border-bottom: 1.5em solid #007BFF;
left: 0em;

}
<span class="first"><span class="second"><i class="third"></i><i class="forth"></i></span></span>
