These fall leaves are made from several shades of modeling chocolate. I made a batch of milk chocolate modeling chocolate and white chocolate modeling chocolate. I blended them in different ratios to achieve different shades. I used fall leave cutters I purchased at hobby lobby and added the veining by hand using a toothpick (tedious, but effective!). I curled the edges and bent the leaves in different shapes to make them more realistic then set them aside to firm up. After an hour or so, they retain their shape, as long as they are handled gently. They are to decorate the top and around the bottom of a wedding cake for this weekend. I will post pictures tomorrow when the cake is decorated.
