Well.  I'm not a zombie but sometimes I play one when I've been in the
kitchen too long.

Using gel colouring select the colour you want and mix it thoroughly into
the marzipan.  Pinch off a section and form the cone, just like you would in
frosting.  Between peices of wax paper place a bit of marzipan and with your
finger as the rolling (pushing) pin spread out a piece about one to one and
a half inches long and about three quarters inch tall.  Unpeel it from the
wax paper and beginning with the center petals begin wrapping and pinching
it around the cone.  Keep adding more rows of petals till you are happy.
Cut off any remaining base after the marzipan begins to set up a bit.  Dead
easy.
