gum paste is also very easy to work with. easy to color. and keeps really well.
looking at those pics, the hats look like they're done with a black disc, the shaped hat, and then an orange band wrapped around it.
from memory, steam helps to give a shiny finish. not sure i'd use egg whites on cake given the chance of allergy to the uncooked product... i think you can brush with vodka too - but maybe that's not a great idea for kids cakes!
ETA - had a better look at the hats and yup, does look like an orange disc in there - just much thicker than the back one!
with your wands, if you're going to have black red and yellow colors, can you experiment at mixing it to see if you get a nice brown color?
