I believe those leaves where part gumpaste and part fondant. I found that the gumpaste dries too fast and the fondant dries too slow so I mixed them - rolled them out in a pasta machine, cut them out(some with cookie cutters, some by hand) & viened them, let them dry on uneven surfaces for 1-2 days then hand-painted them. Finished them with a little pearl dust and attached them to the cake and each other with royal icing. Hope that helps! Tina Hi Cheryl, Thanks for the feedback!
