How to Make Marzipan Roses
Ingredients
- 1-7 oz box Odense Marzipan
- Food coloring
- Optional: Mint leaves
These delicious roses do not wilt on a cake.
Time
35 minutes
Yield
7 Roses
Directions
- Tint Marzipan by kneading in food coloring a bit at a time until desired shade is reached.
- Roll out Marzipan, between wax paper to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut out discs with cookie cutter. You will need 5 discs for each rose.
- For a realistic rose petal look, put a disc between wax paper and thin edges with the back of a spoon. Repeat with remaining discs.
- Roll the first disc into a tube to create the rose's center. Wrap another disc around it, gently flaring the petal.
- Repeat with 3 more discs. Center each petal on the crease of the last one, gently curving petal edge a bit wider with each disc.
- Pinch off bottom for rose to sit.
- Optional: Use mint leaves or green Marzipan cut into teardrop shape for leaves.
