Petite Marzipan Carrots image

Marzipan is a mixture of almonds, sugar, and sometimes egg whites. Its soft, pliable texture makes it ideal for sculpting and decorations. It's available in the baking aisle of supermarkets.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ounce marzipan
Orange and red gel-paste food coloring
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for decorating
Small fresh carrot fronds, rinsed and dried well

Steps:

  • Tint marzipan with orange and red food coloring, a drop at a time, to reach desired color. Divide into 12 pieces. (Cover with plastic wrap when not using.) Shape each piece into a ball, then roll into logs, tapering 1 end, to resemble carrots.
  • Dip a paring knife into cocoa powder. Make tiny indentations in each carrot with cocoa-dusted knife to evoke the vegetable's texture. Carrots will keep, covered, for up to 1 week. Push fronds into top of each carrot before serving.

These marzipan carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very cute and festive. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I had trouble getting the marzipan to stick to the toothpicks. I ended up using a little bit of melted chocolate to help it adhere. Other than that, these marzipan carrots were delicious!
