These are the perfect decorations for a Christmas cake. They are so pretty and guests will be surprised at how great the cake looks.Earlene Moore, Lubbock, Texas Ingredients:
1 cup almond paste |
1/2 cup marshmallow creme |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
green gel food coloring |
8 ice cream sugar cones |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the almond paste, marshmallow creme and corn syrup; mix well. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until combined. Turn onto a waxed paper-lined work surface; knead in food coloring. Divide marzipan in half. Roll each portion into a 10-in. circle between two pieces of waxed paper. Remove waxed paper; cut each circle into four wedges.
2. For each tree, place tip of marzipan wedge at tip of ice cream cone; wrap around cone and pinch edges to seal. With kitchen scissors at a 45° angle pointed toward the top of the tree, cut V shapes into the marzipan. Work from top to bottom of tree, then continue around the tree until completed.
3. Place a small amount of food coloring in a bowl; thin with water if desired. Brush over marzipan trees. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Use to trim holiday cakes. Yield: 8 trees.
