autumn chocolate cupcakes

Very very beautiful! I love the subtle pattern on the fondant, and your leaves and acorns are really well done. Love'em.

how beautiful! Are the leaves made out of gumpaste? How do make them look so smooth & shiny?

Thank you. The leaves are MMF. They look smooth and shiny from the gel food coloring I painted them with.....that's it. I didn't do anything else to them.

thank you! I have been wanting to try MMF, I think I will take this opportunity & dive on in!!

Love these! How did you do the acorns? Do you have a cutter for the leaf?

I hand molded the acorns with two tones of chocolate. Yes, I have a cutter for the leaves. They are a set used for pies.
