You can use modelling chocolate but you also can use fondant with tylose in it if you didn't want to go that route. They are individually made and attached to each other and the cake. Just let the leaves set up some so they maintain that pretty curl.
These look like they are made ahead of time and then attached to the cake. That looks like fondant with CMC but I'm sure modeling chocolate will work too <3
Ayes and mc is easily edible and would make an enjoyable cake to eat/serve
Aif your climate is real hot or humid try a combo of mc & fondant
i think it's 1/3 cup of corn syrup to 14 ounces of candy wafers/chocolate so i use a real full 1/3 cup cs to the 16 oz supply -- it always comes a pound at a time --
key here is keeping the corn syrup and melted 'chocolate' close to the same temperature -- you just melt and combine and it will get too hard too mix and so you let it set up overnight or in the fridge for a few -- voila -- it might separate some oil out -- you can discard or knead it back in either way --

When you mix the two together you will get a product that is super floppy and will never hold its shape - I did it once and only once lol, I thought it would give me the best of both worlds when modelling stuff, nope just a useless lump of soft floppy deliciousness lol. It would be good for covering a cake but even getting it to try and hold that basic shape it would just collapse on itself from my experience.
Athe petals are made prior and once fork in desired shape, then attached with either mod chocolate, or you could use royal icing as well, I've done that successfully before
