Yield
10 Mushrooms
Directions
- Roll a piece of marzipan into a ball. The amount depends on the size of mushrooms desired.
- With the tip of your thumb, make an indentation on the bottom of the ball. Turn it around and around with your two index fingers, gently shaping marzipan into a rounded or pointed mushroom cap.
- Roll a smaller piece of marzipan into a stem. Push stem into indentation of cap. Bend slightly on an angle for a realistic look.
- Leave plain, or dust with powdered sugar for a snow capped look or cocoa powder for a brown mushroom.
