This is a fun concept. It's not super easy but practice makes perfect. If you try this and it does't come out perfect don't give up. This is for my Father-In-Law and he is going to love it no matter what, so I got brave and gave this a try.
I used MMF for all the stuff you see and buttercreme for the inside. I dried the brim over a real hat, covered in plastic food wrap. Took about 4 days to harden completely. Then I flipped and let the top dry for about half a day.

The cakes were baked round then carved into the oval shape. The parts that were cut off were re-used on the top of the cake to give the rounded effect at the top. I used a very sharp knife to remove sections on the top sides to make the indent you see. Carving is a delicate process. You can always take more off but it's a pain to put it back on, so slow is best on those areas.
The cake is a bit lumpy but all things considered I think it came out okay.
