Leaves and Lattes


Fall makes a beautiful season for a wedding.  As with Spring, Fall has very define colors.

This was a last minute wedding cake for a small group of 50.   It features three round tiers in buttercream with gumpaste fall leaves.  The lattes is made of pistallage.  I first roll out the pistallage and then place it into the mold, using my roller, pressing with medium pressure, roll over the prepared paste to imprint the design.  Next using a pallet knife I gentle cut away the excess and carefully remove the piece from the mold.  I dried them on a flat surface for several days.  They were then inserted into the sides of the cake.

The flowers were fall mums also made of gumpaste with a few sprigs of gumpaste heather.
