[Sca-cooks] Another Marzipan Question

[K C Francis]

I used mint to color sugar plate green when I did the arms of the 
Principality of the Mists on a white tart entered in the Silver Spoon 
competition.  It is a period food coloring and as I remember it was a bit 
minty to the taste, so I would assume yes if you can document coloring 
marzipan for making a subtlety.  Unfortunately I didn't have enough borage 
flowers to use them for the blue.
