Autumn Piles 916F

My leaf pile cake is made with white cake layers and filled with white buttercream frosting. The leaves covering the cake are made of dark chocolate and peanut butter bark-broken into small jagged pieces, with an added touch of shredded chocolate to give the look of leaves. I also used leaf cookie cutters for some specific leaf designs and hand painted them with autumn colored powders for that dark finish. The pumpkin on the left is a regular-sized white cupcake shaped into a pumpkin and covered in fondant then hand painted. The basket of apples on top is all hand crafted- including the apple stems. The rest of the decorations include an edible pumpkin on the left and a small apple covered in sanding sugar on top for that added sparkle and special touch. Nut shells are included on the bottom and tops of the cake as a reminder of the nuts we land on when jumping into the piles!
