New England Fall Foliage Wedding Cake

 Fall weddings in New England are in high demand - the region's autumn foliage provides a such a stunning backdrop; couples reserve fall dates far in advance to take advantage of the landscape.

With fall coming up quickly on the horizon, we thought we'd remind you of our decorators' talents in rolled chocolate.  We're honestly capable of paralleling and capturing nature's beauty on your wedding cake!  (**If you're unfamiliar with rolled chocolate, it's Dessert Works' preferred alternative to fondant.  Check out our previous blog post on this topic for more info on this medium.)

Here's a cake from September 2010: we did a top bouquet of rolled chocolate roses, calla lilies, autumn leaves, and even a baby pumpkin for the season!  We brought in a range of beautiful hues such burgundy, eggplant, deep sage, and burnt orange to evoke the feeling of autumn.

The sides of the tiers were decorated in our "Ivy with Fall Leaves" design, where both the ivy and the tiny "leaves" are piped on in our delicious vanilla buttercream.
