Autumn Baking Inspiration: Cookies, Cupcakes & A Showstopping Traybake 

If you’re looking for a simple way to make a traybake feel extra special, our autumn inspired creation proves that a few thoughtful decorations can transform a bake into something worth showing off! 

With an autumnal coloured sponge decorated with buttercream and autumn leaves in seasonal shades, this bake perfectly captures the colours of the season. The finishing touch? A spritz of Sparkle Dust Spray to add a beautiful shimmer and catch the light, giving the whole design a little extra glamour. 

Experiment with autumnal inspired ProGel Colours such as Mulberry and Caramel to create your own collection of colourful leaves. Arrange them across the top of the traybake for a natural, scattered look, or create a more structured design for an eye-catching finish. It’s a great way to practice your decorating skills while creating a bake that looks as good as it tastes. 

Cupcakes are perfect for seasonal decorating, and these autumn-inspired creations are packed with little details to love. We’ve topped our cupcakes with ProGel coloured sugar florist paste leaves berries and acorns, bringing the colours and textures of an autumn woodland to every swirl of frosting. The mix of shapes and seasonal details makes each cupcake feel unique, while keeping the collection coordinated. 

If you’re planning an autumn wedding, these designs could be a lovely source of inspiration. Think warm autumn shades, delicate fondant details and coordinated cupcakes that complement your wedding colours. They could even be styled alongside a larger wedding cake to create a stunning display for your guests. 

Squires Kitchen Sugar Florist Paste is ideal for creating decorative elements that can be shaped to suit your design. Use Rainbow Dust colours to bring your autumn palette to life, experimenting with different shades to give your decorations depth and character. 

Create a mixture of small leaves, berries and acorns, then arrange them on your cupcakes in various combinations. Keep to a coordinated colour palette and match the decorations to your chosen wedding colours for a more personal touch. 

Is there anything better than a freshly baked cookie and a hot chocolate on a chilly autumn afternoon? We’ve given classic cookies a seasonal twist with a collection of autumn-inspired shapes that are just super-cute! 

From leafy designs and cute acorns to cosy sweaters, mushrooms, coffee cups and pumpkins, there’s a little something for every autumn lover. 

The variety of shapes makes this collection so fun to decorate with our Sugarpaste, ProGel colours and edible food decorating paints. Play with different colours, patterns and details to give each cookie its own personality. Think warm-toned leaves, pumpkin orange, earthy mushroom shades and little details on the sweaters and coffee cups.  

Choose a few complementary colours and use them across your collection to tie all the designs together. You could keep your leaves traditional with reds, oranges and yellows, add little details to your sweater cookies, or create your own pumpkin and mushroom designs. 

These cookies are perfect for sharing, gifting or enjoying alongside your favourite hot drink. They're also a great opportunity to get creative with edible decorating products and experiment with different finishes.
