Directions

  1. Frost cooled cupcakes or cake with green tinted frosting or pipe to look like grass.

  3. Working with one color at a time; roll out Marzipan, between wax paper and cut out desired shapes i.e. tulips, eggs, butterflies, bunnies etc.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk Just Whites with 2 tablespoons water. Make tiny balls, flowers or ropes for decorations and attach with egg white mixture, using paintbrush. Brush desired sections of decorations with egg whites and dust with colored sprinkles.
  5. Decorate frosting with creations and brace back with small amount of Marzipan (if needed) to help stand up.
  6. To save time at the busy holidays, make decorations ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
