Inspired by all the beautiful colors outside. I decided to decorate my birthday cake with leaves, sunflowers, pumpkins and berries in warm colors. The flavour was almond cake, 1 layer of chocolate caramel ganache and 1 layer of applesauce vanilla mousse with apples from my moms garden.
I crumb coated the cake with the lovely Italian meringue butter cream (it is amazing to work with) and Marshmallow fondant. All the decoration was made out of modelling paste and I painted the leaves with petal dust colors, mixed with alcohol.
You can see another fall cake that I’ve made in the cake gallery.
Happy Caking!

elma: So far I have only heard that the wilton brand should not have a nice taste. All in all fondant is made of icing sugar so of course its sweet in taste. You can however make your own and add the flavour that you like.

Hi Louise,
Belated happy Birthday! You’re so artistic! I’ve been a constant reader of your site…i love baking since i was a kid but my work takes most of my time…i just delight myself reading your creations! If you don’t mind i would like to ask regarding fondant icing…does it really taste good? I had a bad experience once i bought a cake for my son’s birthday and i chose fondant as the icing..the design was beautiful but when we ate it, it was awful…, i can’t describe the taste!we can’t eat the fondant..we removed it and just ate the cake…by the way we bought it from one of the best bakeshop in our country. Can you enlighten me about the taste of fondants? Thanks very much…congrats in your blog!
