A nice thing about producing leaves using the following method, as opposed to using a leaf cutter or leaf stamp, is that each leaf will be slightly different, just as in nature.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Roll out the marzipan to 1/16 inch (2 mm) thick. Using a sharp paring knife, cut out leaves of the appropriate size (Figure 12-6). Keep the tip of the knife clean and free of marzipan, or the cut edges will have a ragged and unattractive appearance.
