Help needed with ideas for autumn wedding cakes

Hello all

I know you lot are all internet gurus, and am hoping one of you can help!

We're getting married in October and MIL2B is kindly making our wedding cake,and has asked for ideas. I'd like a kind of autumned themed cake with oak leaves, but can't find a picture anywhere!

Our scheme is chocolate and brown with deep russett oranges and reds in the flowers, and I'm thinking oak colours would be nice for the cake. Any one got any pictures they could flash for me, or help me find what I'm looking for!

Thank you!!!!

Hi there

Autumn colours and themes are lovely - I've done a couple over the years.

However, you'll probably find them hard to find on many cake websites, they're not something I'd put on mine, for example, as they don't really have the wide appeal of the more standard pink/white, gold/ivory etc.  I, like many cake makers, make too many cakes to be able to put them all on my webite so have to think about what will have wide appeal that I'm likely to get business from.

That said, I just searched for 'autumn wedding cakes' in google images and quite a few came up in shades of ivory with browns, russets, golds etc.  Most of them seem to be on websites in the USA but if you just need them for inspiration to show your MIL2B then it's probably worth searching that way.

wicked cake....Maybe colour changed and pumpkins removed to match your theme

 change of colour and leaves rather than flower icing

A cheese stack cake would be perfect in autumn. The colours of the cheese would look fab

Wow thanks everyone

Sorry,I've not been back on, I was working all day, and can't hitch from work

There is some  great ideas there,we've even seen one we really like the look off, so going to print it out and show it to MIL2B.

Once again,thank you, you are all fab!!
