These realistic looking carrots make the perfect garnish for carrot cake or muffins.

INGREDIENTS

1-7 oz box Odense Marzipan Red food coloring paste* or gel Yellow food coloring paste* or gel Vegetable oil 10 parsley sprigs

*Food coloring paste is generally preferred over liquid, as it won't change the consistency of the Marzipan, as the liquid may.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make a well in the marzipan and add food coloring, about three parts yellow for every one part red.
