This was our very first cake for a client. We used a simple design: leaves, pumpkins and little flowers. Feel free to use it!
BarbieK17 -- "new to decorating" using buttercream or fondant? Here's an early buttercream design that looks very impressive. I learned this in a class with Kathleen Lange and prepared a short tutorial with her permission that is posted on my shutterfly site. When you go to the link you will see thumbnail photos. When you click on each thumbnail, it will enlarge. BE SURE to scroll down slightly to see the written instructions below each photo (sometimes the writing doesn't appear in a screen shot):

Haven't had any luck posting photos recently, so you'll need to go to the links to see the cakes. If any of these strike your fancy and you have questions, send me a PM or ask on this thread.
