Hey guys! just had a look at everyones beautiful fall cakes wow!! They are beautiful.I needed inspiration I had a woman ask me today to make her 2 fall themed cakes for her Birthday. One round and one square with 2 different designs. I saw many many mums and I would like to try in buttercream which tip and how? is here a tutorial somewhere for mums, thanks gang! Also I will try the leaves in fondant but how to get a nice color to them I don't know at school we used the airbrush system so they came out gorgeous at home I don't have it yet still to expensive for me right now, so I'd love some suggestions thanks!!
Use the Wilton Tip 81 to make mums, here's the instructions from the Wilton Website:

As for the leaves, I have a set of JEM Leaf cutters that has 2 sizes of actual mum leaves. I veined them between a couple of plastic leaves. I used Moss Green and the color is perfect (I compared them to a real mum bush to make sure). I actually made mine from Candy Clay instead of fondant.
I just posted my fall cake and it was with leaves. For my leaves I took gel paste and stirred in some Lemon Extract. Then I just painted the color on both sides.
