These cute little bees will be a hit with children, and are the perfect decoration for cupcakes or a birthday cake. Make the marzipan a day in advance and leave it to ripen overnight at room temperature, before colouring and shaping it into bumble bees. This will make it easier to work with and it will hold its shape better.
Ingredients
150 g 5 oz a few drops
Method
- Divide the marzipan into two pieces and colour half yellow and half black.
- Divide each colour into four pieces. Roll these out into logs about 5mm/¼ in in diameter. You will end up with four yellow logs and four black logs. Use clear film (plastic wrap) to cover any with which you are not working.
- Cut each log into 5mm/¼ in pieces.
