I absolutely love the carriage!! I’m going to attempt to recreate these for my daughter’s fifth birthday. I understand the concept enough to make the pumpkin shaped pop, I’m just curious… what did you use to make the accents? (Wheels, door, gold tones on the carriage itself?) Thanks! 🙂
I used a bit of fondant I had available to make the door, stem, and wheels. CK Products Old Gold Luster Dust was used on the fondant accents. When making the wheels, shape them into the spiral and allow them to dry before painting and attaching them to the pumpkin.
You could also use a squeeze bottle with melted chocolate to draw the wheel shape on a piece of parchment paper, allow it to dry and then paint and attach. All accents were attached with a bit of melted chocolate.
