I have made this fall inspired cake for a reception I went to. The leaves were painted with powdered food colors mixed with clear alcohol in beautiful fall colors. I also made some red berries and some very simply brown mice to adorn the cake. All decorations are made in gum paste.
Last time I made a cake with this design was 6 years agoe for my 30th Birthday. Back then the cake looked like this:
I have another Birthday cake (my own) comming up very soon and this will also be decorated with a touch of fall I think.
Happy Caking!

Gorgeous!
Lovely blog you’ve got. Wondering if you’ll give the readers instructions on how to make leaves like this? I’d be the first one to read it!

Louise! Love your cake blog. Im just starting to play with modeling fondant figures, but am having trouble keeping such a smooth surface, like your mice have. I tend to get cracks or wrinkles. Any tips to help?
Thanks
