Fall Cake!

For my family's Thanksgiving 2010 dinner, I decided to make a fall themed cake.  To cover the cake, I tinted the fondant brown. (TIP: either buy brown fondant or use cocoa mix to assist with the tinting process). I then created several leaves using  green, orange, yellow, and red tinted 50/50 fondant/gum paste mix. (TIP: the leaves have to sit overnight to harden). I attached the leaves to the cake using small dabs of chocolate icing. The cake was enjoyed by all and was DEVOURED by the next morning!!
