I just love fall themed cakes, and in today’s video tutorial, I’m going to show you how to make a beautiful yet simple cake that would be perfect for your Thanksgiving dessert table as well as any fall special occasion!

Wreath cakes can be created for any season–I love floral wreath cakes, and we’ve also created an ornament wreath cake for Christmas! I love the addition of this fall wreath to our video tutorial section, with it’s pumpkins, acorns, and wildflowers. We hope that you enjoy it!

 

Fall Wreath Cake Decorating Video Tutorial

Materials:

*This is a three layer 8 inch cake, frosted in cinnamon buttercream (this is classic vanilla buttercream frosting with about 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon added.)

Vanilla Buttercream for accents

Coloring Gels: Americolor Avocado Green + Leaf Green, Lemon yellow, Orange, Chocolate Brown

Piping Tips: Tip 2, 4, 80 (chrysanthemums), Wilton leaf tips 366, 352,

Fondant (we kneaded in a little tylose powder to speed up the setting time).

Small tapered spatula for texture around the sides of the cake

Piping gel (adhesive for pumpkin stems)

vegetable shortening (helpful in reducing stickiness when working with fondant)

everclear, vodka, or lemon extract (used to combine with orange coloring gel for painting our pumpkins)

Miscellaneous: Bench scraper and turntable (helpful for frosting the cake), disposable piping bags, toothpick or tool of choice for adding texture to acorn,  small paint brushes, artist palette or small plate, cake cardboard cut to the size of the tier & your base/pedestal of choice

    Hi Melissa, Did you have to double the classic vanilla buttercream recipe since this is a three-layer cake? Is the same buttercream (minus the cinnamon) used for the flowers? Thanks!

    Thank you for your comments! @TerriLynn–Yes, you should double the classic vanilla buttercream recipe to be on the safe side. That will give you enough for the cake as well as the flowers, etc. You’ll want to reserve a couple of cups of your vanilla buttercream (for the flowers on top) before adding your cinnamon so that you won’t have cinnamon speckles in your flower petals ;0)
