Marzipan

So for Christmas dinner this year, I wanted to make a Buche de Noel cake (a roll cake in the shape of a Yule Log) and decorate it with marzipan mushrooms, acorns, and the like. After going to several stores and not finding ANY marzipan, I found a recipe and made some from scratch- which was suprisingly pretty easy. So I thought I'd post some lovely marzipan finds today...first- check out Red Cake artist Elide Endreson's SUPER AWESOME marzipan TEETH! (Sweet tooth...get it??)



The Hungarian parliament, in marzipan...


Super cute marzipan fruit- and love the little fish..



Ok- so these super creepy babies were part of a
hoax that claimed they were made from marzipan- but turns out they are not tasty baby candies, but just hella creepy polymer clay sculptures by Camille Allen. Shudder.

On that note....happy holidays and stay healthy and warm!!!
