Fondant was the main ingredient for the decorations. I have been considering learning to do gum paste because I understand I can roll that out thinner. Not this day though - went with what I know. Tinted the fondant various colors of fall.
Rolled the apples out first - shaped them in an almost perfect circle and then poked a hole in the top and popped a piece of brown in for a stem.
Then the pumpkins came next - rolled the orange out........
Rolled them into big ole imperfect balls - because when have you ever seen a perfectly round pumpkin? then I used the pizza cutter you see to the right to run lines from top to bottom in no perfect order. Not deeply.
Because then I took one of my fondant tools and deepened the grove - yet at the same time it smoothed the groove - not cutting sharply into the fondant. Poked a hole in the top.
and then popped a brown piece of fondant in for the stem. No broken off pumpkin stems here baby.
For the leaves I took Green, Red, Yellow, Mustard, Orange and Brown fondant. I should have documented this, but there were kids starting to mill a bit and I was scattering them away. Forgot pics. So I rolled the colors in log shapes - lined them up next to one another - rolled them out with a rolling pin - folded them over one another - rolled them out - repeat repeat until I had the color pattern I wanted - then I used leaf shape cookie cutters.
