For the pumpkin shape :

Each round mantou i use a jam spread knife to shape on the mantou.

For the leaves :

I take out some dough and put the pandan paste to make it green color.
Then flatten the dough, i use a small knife to shape into Rhombus shape and place them on top of the mantou.

For the stick :

I use pandan leave to decorate.
