Can someone help me on how to make Fall shaped leaves. Should I make them with gumpaste or rolled chocolate? Do I just add fall coloring to make a marble affect, then roll them out and cut them? ALL suggestions are greatly appreciated!

ive made them with light creamy yellow gumpaste using cookie cutters. when they dry then i add petal dusts in the fall colors or you could paint them with food coloring

So a base of yellow gumpaste shaped leaves is best and then add the specific brown, orange, red......and this specific color of burgandy she wants and that will do the trick??!! Thank you! I think this is a heck of a cheaper and better way than buying them from the catalogue from Pfeil and Holing. This way I can accomodate her wishes.
Thanks again!
