Skull and Cactus Cake - Southwestern Style-Cake Decorating

3D Cake Designs in Buttercream can be fun and easy. This Skull and Cactus Design is great for guys who like to hunt or just a Southwestern Fan. The Skull is built on cake as well as some of the Cactus. 

I used only 3 Decorating Tips for this Design. A coupler, a Quick Icing Tip and a #124 Rose Tip. So nothing special needed.  

How to Make Spicy Pumpkin Cake From A Yellow Mix- video

Pumpkin Cake is a Fall favorite, but when you add real Pumpkin Pie Spices you've got a real hit! In this video I show how to make these yummy cakes. The ingredients for this project are 1 yellow cake mix or your favorite scratch cake recipe. 1 15 oz can of Pumpkin (puree), be sure it doesn't already have spices. 3 eggs, 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cloves, and the secret ingredient 1/8- 1/4 tsp Mace. The video shows how to get the right consistency and how to fill your pans for the best outcome. Enjoy!

Fall Leaves- Maple, Oak and Acorns

Autumn Leaves are a fun and beautiful alternative to flowers.
This Design works well for a fall dinner party, Thanksgiving, as well as for a Masculine cake.

The most important tip for creating beautiful Fall Leaves is the getting the right colors. These need to be deep and bright. Rich reds, oranges, and yellows work great, but adding some green can add a late summer splash. A striping technique is employed here to get the striking red edges.
