Did you know you can make your own gorgeously easy fondant pumpkin? You can! These fondant pumpkins are super cute on top of our easy pumpkin spice cupcakes, on the border of a cake, or any way you can dream up to enjoy them. The process to make our pumpkin is super easy, since it uses purchased, pre-colored fondant.

How to make your fondant pumpkin.

Here’s what you need.

  • 1 tube of orange fondant
  • 1 tube of green cake frosting
  • 1 disposable piping bag fitted with a number 66 tip
  • 1 cutting board 
  • 1 wooden skewer

Begin by rolling a small 1/3 oz piece of orange fondant into a ball. Dust your work surface with powdered sugar/corn-starch to prevent the fondant from sticking.

Place the fondant ball onto the cutting board.

Lightly push the fondant ball down into a thick disk to make it more of a pumpkin shape. You can start to see the fondant pumpkin here right?

Using the pointy side of the skewer, make an indent in the center of the fondant ball.

Using the wooden skewer, take the rounded end of the skewer and using the rolling motion from bottom to top make 4 indents like an X as shown above.

Repeat step to make 4 more indents in between the first 4 indents.

Squeeze the icing into the disposable bag and pipe a leaf onto the top of the fondant pumpkin. You can make either one or two leaves.

Set aside to dry for at least an hour.

Your finished product is this gorgeous fondant pumpkin!

Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
