Autumn
Autumn is baking season: pumpkins, foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels, mushrooms and colourful leaves are the motifs of the moment. With sugar decorations, cookie cutters and baking cups you can give your creations an autumn look, from a cake for the Bénichon festival to afternoon biscuits and a Halloween buffet. The warm colours of the season are an invitation to bake with pumpkin, nuts and chocolate and to set a cosy table. Family gathering, harvest festival or an October birthday: here you will find everything to bring autumn to the plate.
Autumn baking ideas
For biscuits there are fox, hedgehog, squirrel and pumpkin cutters, many with embossing or an ejector, plus the "leaves" cutters and a 6-piece autumn leaf set. Wafer paper leaves, small and large sugar mushrooms, woodland animal decorations in sugar and chocolate and the autumn marzipan decoration dress up cakes in no time. Fondant in Mellow Yellow, Fire Red, Forest Green and Tropical Orange, powder colours in red, yellow, orange and Holly Green and the natural chestnut powder colour provide the right shades. The Garden silicone mat and the Delica silicone mould from Silikomart also add a modern touch to desserts.
Cupcakes, drip cakes and pralines
Cupcake cases with woodland animals, foxes or autumn leaves, kraft and chocolate tulip muffin cases and cases in red, orange and green make every muffin tray autumnal. Drip in red, orange, yellow and brown or Choco Drip chocolate runs decoratively down the edge of the cake. Praline and chocolate moulds in pumpkin shapes, silicone mushroom moulds and the hedgehog baking tin let you create sweet treats, while the pumpkin flavour paste gives creams the taste of the season. A hit with children is the hedgehog cake from the baking tin, studded with dark or milk chocolate shavings as spines.
Autumn table decorations and Halloween
Red, brown, orange and dark green cake boards, red tablecloths, orange glitter candles, popcorn boxes and kraft boxes for sweets complete the autumn table, and with the hand balloon pump and balloon garland strip you can make a garland in autumn colours in no time – find more in Autumn table decoration. All the baking supplies for the season are waiting in Autumn baking material. If you like a spooky touch, discover sugar eyes and bloodshot sugar eyes, plus everything around Halloween and the matching Halloween decoration.
Tips for an autumn look
- Choose a colour palette: rust, mustard yellow, dark green and brown work beautifully together.
- Colour intensely: powder colours tint fondant and icings strongly without softening them.
- Emboss the motif: embossing cutters press the design straight into the dough, no piping needed.
- Present it naturally: kraft cases and boxes suit the rustic autumn style perfectly.
