Misha you don't have to be artistic to do well in marzipan. I usually get a
model, like I did with the capers. I mixed the colours for probably about
30 or 40 minutes adding tiny amounts till I got the colour right.
Duplicating the actual thing is just copy-cat work. The colour...that's the
trick. Same with the shrimp. I don't make each one. I made a mold from a
frozen shrimp. Brush the inside of the mold with some saunder and press in
plain ol marzipan. Shape up with a tiny knife or fingernail and WA-LA!
Everyone's impressed. Dead easy.
Olwen, who wished you lived just a little closer.
Are you coming up for TNT the weekend of the 26-28? If you can catch a bus
I can catch you at the station.
