This was for the nephew of a friend who is crazy for Mickey. The hat was half of the Wilton sports mold covered with black MMF. The ears were made from a thick cut of gumpaste, which was allowed about a week to dry out, and stuck into the hat by 3 prongs of food-safe wire and a layer of royal icing to "glue" them down. Bottom tier design were cut layers of marshmallow fondant.
