fall pumpkin

Very nice looks so real. good job :wink:

That's a great looking pumpkin!

neato-skeeto!

Very Festive!

Top work! Did you layer multiple cakes and then carve the shape?

Absolutely fabulous!

I like everything about this pumpkin cake, particularly the custom shape.

Fantastic job! The pumpkin shape is excellent.

Love the pumpkin. Would you mind sharing as to how you made the shape?

great shape and shading

Simply amazing! Perfection.

Love this! I love anything fall related. I too would like to know how you got the wonderful shape.

i ADORE this!!!!! so perfect!!

How in the world did you make that?

*BUMP* - Why don't people answer questions about their cakes? They simply ignore it. I'd rather someone say "You know what? I'm not telling!" then just ignore everyone. IMHO

Wow that last comment was totally uncalled for. I have a full time job and My daughter is getting married in two weeks so I have been just a little busy. I don't mind sharing but I do not always have the time to respond right away

I stacked three frozen rounds with butter cream between each layer carved to round off then flipped the cake so what I just had just rounded off became the bottom. Then I did the same thing to the top of the cake. I put a deep circle in the middle for the stem then carved lines in the sides starting at the top and going down. When I had the shape I liked I crumb coated it then put it in the freezer to firm up while I made the orange fondant. When I covered the cake with fondant I worked it into the grooves

continued......I used my airbrush to give the color some depth formed a stem from fondant & added the gumpaste leaves.

Thanks for the instructions...this is awesome.
