Maggie’s Menu: Marzipan Christmas Tree Decorations
Message from Maggie:
We had a house full for Christmas eve and Christmas day and I wanted to wow them with a creative dessert. Mr. Magpie insisted on a chocolate cake though. I found this adorable idea for Marzipan Tree Cake Decorations over at Oh Happy Day and everybody won. Hop on over there for the full tutorial.
Materials:
- 2 boxes of marzipan (almond paste)
- Green sprinkles
- Pretzel sticks (Note: I used gluten free)
- Cake frosted in white icing
- Pinch about 2” of marzipan off and begin kneading it in your hands.
- Roll into a tree shape.
- Insert pretzel into base of tree.
- Lightly dampen your fingers and then dampen the marzipan. (This will help the sprinkles stick to the marzipan).
- Roll the dampened marzipan into the sugar or sprinkles.
- Set aside and repeat. I was able to get about 12 trees out of one box of marzipan.
- Insert into cake and enjoy!
Allergens:
- This recipe is gluten free (If you make a gluten free cake!).
