Fall Leaves Harvest Birthday Cake

This birthday cake was for an older man whose birthday landed around the Thanksgiving holidays.  They wanted something that they could have with their Thanksgiving dinner.  I made a Pumpkin Pecan Cake with a Pumpkin Pie Filling.  I also iced the cake in Almond Buttercream Frosting, which gave it a little something extra special!  I made leaves out of gum paste/fondant in fall colors to decorate the cake with.  Everyone loved the cake and it got rave reviews!
