Learn how to Marzipan Christmas Gnomes.

Gather one box of Odense Marzipan and four colors of food dye: red, green, grey, and white.
Split marzipan into five balls and dye one each: red, green, grey, white, and plain. Knead until fully colorful.
Separate two smaller sections from the red ball and shape one into a cylinder shape as the gnome’s body.
Shape four small spheres from the green ball and attach to the body as two coat buttons, and two feet.
Create a head from a part of the plain marzipan and attach to the body.
Make a sphere from the plain marzipan and attach to the face for the nose.
Create a pointy cone from the green marzipan to make the hat.
Roll out a thin piece of red marzipan for the rim of the hat, and wrap it around the bottom.
Add the hat on top of the head.
As a variation, repeat making the head, nose, and body, then wrap a thin, rolled piece of plain marzipan around the bottom of the coat as a trim.
Add a flat triangular shape for the beard.
Make a festive hat by making a cone shape from the red marzipan, then adding plain marzipan as the rim and a small sphere on top.
As a variation, repeat steps 3-4 with grey marzipan as the coat and shoes.
Shape a red cone as the hat.
Repeat these steps as many times as you like, and create your own unique Marzipan Christmas Gnomes. Have fun and enjoy!
