Thanks Helen - Which part are you curious about?  I covered the bottom tier with MMF and then made a ruler to "quilt" it - I carved the top tier so that the sides were concave and then covered it with MMF.  After that I stacked the cakes & then made the rim and attached it with water, making sure to pleat it as I went around, then I placed paper towels under the brim to give it some lift until it dried.  The flowers were all made by hand as were the buttons & ribbons.  For the curly cues I simply laid the swirled MMF on its side until it dried and the curls I wrapped around straws until they were dried.

Very very pretty! I especially love the description you gave along with it. I'll bet it was a grand affair with everyone and their hats! What an outstanding idea to go along with your beautiful cake!
