this is something i did with marzipani to be honest with you, marzipan is promarily composed of ground almonds and sugar... It is extremly labor intensive and time consuming to make... but you can go to the New York Cake & Baking Distributer in the city, or even some supermarkets and find it in a can. You can buy great quality extracts as well, such as pistachio in your case.

It has the consistency of playdough, works well, doesnt dry out quickly...

i reccomend buying some... and just play around with it using simple food coloring... and when your done, you can wrap it in plastic wrap or a airtight bad (squeeze all the air out)...

i can try to find a video i had on working with marzipan.

The top piece on the wedding cake is marzipan, as well as the cascading flowers.

The rest of the cake is rolled fondant which is a bitch and a half to make.

i can find a recipe on making your own marzipan, but like I said... its a waste of time.

oh nice! i buy it chocolate covered by the pound from my local candy gourmet shop.. i was just curious cause if it were easier to make i woulda gone ahead with it...

i like that idea of squeezing it for design making... i just might do something like that next time i pick up more chocolate. thanQ!

just a note on that... you can shape the marzipan to dip it but do nOT use reg chocolate. you would need to temper it, which is a process you needn't bother yourself with.

but chocolate coating, which taastes the same and has that nice shiny coting.... but its not really chocolate.

this is almond paste... it looks dark but when you work with it you incorporate a lot of sifted powdered sugar which lightens it in color...

Lorann flavoring oils... use a teeny bit for anything

all this and a ashitload more can be found @ nycake.com

or just go to 22st off 6th Avenue to the store

just buy the marzipan... use only sifed confectioners sugar to dust your surface and work with it... and add flavoring until it tastes the way you want it too.

TEMPER TEMPER TEMPEr

heat cool reheat
