1. in yourTheme/layout/local.xml

<layout>
<default> 
<!-- Unset cart from sidebar --> 
 <reference name="right"><action method="unsetChild"><name>cart_sidebar</name></action></reference>
 <!-- Insert cart in header -->
 <reference name="header"><action method="insert"><blockName>cart_sidebar</blockName></action></reference>
</default>
</layout>

2. in yourTheme/template/page/html/header.phtml:

// This is required to show the cart
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('cart_sidebar'); ?>

Normaly the cart should appear in the header.

Edit yourTheme/template/checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml to give the look you want.
