How Do I Make An Acorn? And What Colors To Use?

Any hints and tips would be great.
I'm Just making a fall cake and would like to make acorns but they don't really look like acorns.
TIA,
Jodi
I have some in my pics. I used chocolate candy melts (made candy clay). dark chocolate and milk choc. I just made a ball with the milk choc. ones and then pointed one end. Then with the dark chocolate, I made little caps and put those on. then I made a little stem and criss-crossed the tops with a knife.
HTH
I made some last year out of caramels. 
They are easy to mold once you start working them and I dipped the top in chocolate and used a "jimmi" for the stem. I suppose you could work in some color to them or use dust on them. I did not color these since the cake had a lot of dark fall color on it.
thanks!
I'll let you know how they turn out!

khalstead.... love your acorns and fall decor. Did you make the leaves? If so, would you share your technique? I'm making a fall cake for competition and these appear so "real" - love the color and thickness. Thanks!!
