For Christmas trees try this
Ingredients:
200g (8oz.) marzipan or sugarpaste
Green paste food colouring
Icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) to dust
Instructions:
Knead a few drops of colouring into marzipan or sugar paste until a good even mid to deep green colour is achieved.
Take a piece of marzipan and shape into a cone with a flat bottom. Place cone onto a flat surface.
Take a small pair of scissors and gently snip into marzipan to create branches. Remember branches at bottom should be larger than branches at top.
Dust with icing sugar to resemble snow. If you like, you can decorate trees with royal icing, silver dragees or small sweets.
Makes from 4 large or 30 tiny tress, depending on what size trees you want to make.
I gotta go with the sugar cone on this one. I've made them before, I have a pic in my gallery. Just make green royal icing and apply with leaf tip applying from the bottom up! Give plenty of drying time though. Use petal or luster dusts to enhance!
