Marzipan Bees image

Don't worry about getting stung; these buzzing bees are made of marzipan and are a thoughtful touch to any dessert that has a hint of honey -- like our Honey-Glazed Beehive Cake.

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 3

Yellow and black gel-paste food coloring
1 ounce marzipan or almond paste, halved
1/4 cup blanched sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Add yellow gel paste to 1 portion marzipan and black gel paste to the other. Knead each to incorporate.
  • Roll each portion into a 1/8-inch-diameter rope. Cut each rope crosswise into 1/8-inch slices.
  • Stack 5 slices together horizontally, flat sides facing, alternating colors, starting and ending with yellow. Press together gently. For the head, roll a yellow slice into a ball, and press onto body. For the eyes, roll 2 bits of black marzipan into balls; press onto head. For the stinger, shape the tail piece into a slight point. For the wings, press a sliced almond into each side of bee. Repeat. Use immediately.
