To make leaves, use a rolling pin to roll out a 1/16-inch-thick sheet of colored marzipan.
Using a leaf-shaped cookie cutter, cut the leaves out of the marzipan.
Press on the leaves with a paring knife, forming a line that runs down the middle and smaller lines at an angle.
To make berries, roll the marzipan into a ⅛-inch-thick cord and cut into sections. Roll the sections into tiny balls.
