The few times I have done marzipan, I used dry food color
and mixed it with alcohol (booze, that is) and painted it
like I was painting a picture, rather than kneading color
in.
My latest passion is the edible silver and gold dust you
can either reonsitute (booze again, hmmm... a theme....)
and paint or you can just dust with.
I put a bit (goes a long way) in a baggie with some 1 inch
gingercookie stars and shook, and it was just beautiful.
Far prettier than if I had painted them gold.
