Painting Marzipan Desserts

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Rachel Dayan for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show how to paint the strawberry which I made from plain marzipan I made it a day ago it is stayed out to harden up. It stays out it's a hard crust which make it easier to paint so this is the strawberry that I made you can see that it is already shape all I don't have to do anything with the shape spot we are going to color it. We are going to use a red food coloring for the strawberry and a green for the little leaf on top. So we take a little drop of food coloring, food coloring is very very concentrated even when you buy so it is good to dilute it with a little bit of water. I want to mention coloring it can be more professional kind of cause you can mix different a little bit different colors, you can make it lighter on one side, darker on the other side which gives it a shady kind of look. But it is simpler to use a ready colored marzipan. Now I'm going to use the green food coloring just make sure that you either use a different paint brush or wash your paint brush very good, use a different bowl or again wash you bowl really good otherwise you are going to get a totally different color from what you wanted. Cause food coloring is very very concentrated and even with a little drop could change the whole color from the desire results that you want it. Now color the top now. I wanted to show you the difference from coloring it afterwards and using it already colored marzipan "
