How to Make Fall Gumpaste Leaves

Last update: July 15, 2016 By Alice Currah 19 Comments

Fall in Seattle is absolutely stunning right now.  You can not drive anywhere without seeing leaves in shades of deep reds, bright oranges, golden yellows, eggplant purples and everything in between.

A few days ago I took this photo while walking with my sister-Janice, and our sons.  Even though residential and commercial development has changed the landscape of the city, Greenlake remains the same.  I’m so thankful for this and the beauty Fall brings during this time of year.

Last November I posted a detailed, step-by-step cake decorating tutorial on how to make these beautiful Fall gum paste leaves.  Inspired by my walk, I thought it was worth re-posting for anyone who wishes to take elevate their decorating skills beyond shell borders.

Here’s the original link for realistic Fall gumpaste leaves.  Have a great weekend.
