AUTUMN WEDDING DECORATING IDEAS




You can create professional-looking cookies decorated with fondant with this cookie cutter and impression mat set. The set includes a 3-tier wedding cake cookie cutter and three plastic impression mats to create appropriate patterns in fondant or buttercream. Two of the mats are designed to be used with the cookie cutter and the third mat has an all-over design which can be used either with the cookie cutter, or for creating an impression in fondant or buttercream to cover any small surface (such as other cookie shapes or cupcakes). Either side of the mats can be used: one side will produce a raised impression, while the other will give a recessed impression (which can be filled with a contrasting colour).





Set of 4: cookie cutter and 3 impression mats





Roll cookie dough and cut out shapes using the cookie cutter. Bake and allow to cool completely. To decorate with fondant, lightly spray the impression mat with cooking spray; wipe off excess with a paper towel. Roll fondant to approximately 1/8" thickness. Place the impression mat on the counter, and turn the fondant over on top of the mat. Roll over fondant once. Turn the fondant over and remove the mat. Cut out the impressed fondant piece with the cookie cutter and attach to cookie with piping gel or a thin layer of buttercream. To decorate the cookie with buttercream, ice the cookie with buttercream icing and allow the buttercream to crust. Place the impression mat over the crusted buttercream; roll over the mat once with a pastry roller or small rolling pin. Lift the mat.





Pumpkins, ghosts and Sexy Trouwjurken goblins are all things one would expect to see a lot of during the month of October, but there are a multitude of other fine fall elements that often get overlooked in the quest to decorate for Halloween. For the next few Wednesdays, The Finer Things will be focusing on autumn entertaining ideas that are still seasonal, yet unique enough to set your party apart from the rest.





Grapes, for instance, tend to be thrown into the summer party spotlight. However, with the typical grape harvest time period in the northern hemisphere being between the months of August and October (with the grapes for some late harvest wines, like Reisling, harvested in mid to late autumn), this dazzling fruit is fabulously fit for a fall fete.

Love for all seasons - the wedding cake.





Spring: Chocolate cake with mint oreo filling, covered in buttercream. Decorated with ladybugs and leaves.





Summer: Lemon cake with lemon curd and buttercream filling, covered in buttercream. Decorated with lily pads, dragon flies and chocolate covered rocks.





Autumn: Spice cake with cream cheese frosting and filling. Decorated with meringue mushrooms and autumn-colored leaves.





Winter: White cake with rasberry filling, covered in homemade marzipan, and Trouwjurken buttercream frosting (bad idea for an outdoor summer wedding - live and learn!)





See my favorites for more, and better (I think) photos of the cakes.
