This year, we were bound and determined to win not only most creative, but best over all (also includes best taste and sex appeal.) So, if you can imagine, I was on a mission.
This is what we came up with. Again, this year was also inspired by "Hello, Cupcake!".
First step, collect and wash lots of small, fresh maple leaves.
Next step, melt chocolate and paint the backs of all the leaves. Let them harden and carefully peal the leaves off of the chocolate leaves.
Also pictured below: caramel acorns. To make these, take the little square caramels and heat 4-5 at a time in the microwave for 8-10 sec to soften. Then roll into desired shape and dip one end in melted chocolate and roll in chocolate sprinkles.
Next step, make the best tasting chocolate bunt cake possible, frost generously with chocolate, cream cheese frosting. Insert chocolate leaves all leaning in the same direction and place acorns randomly throughout. And there you have it! The most beautiful fall wreath I have ever made (or tasted)!
So in the end, how did it all end up?! We blew them away and swept all the categories taking first place over all!! I would be lying if I didn't say that I was totally stoked.
And for our prize, we happily made our way home as the new proud owners of this:
