Marzipan Fruit


We spent a much of a class shaping marzipan fruit. I thought it would be exceedingly dull, but it wasn't--it was actually quite a bit of fun. We learnt how to make all sorts of fruit and got to try our hand at different figurines (whatever struck our fancy). I made:

A pineapple
A banana
A fig
A strawberry
A peach 
A pea pod
A peach
A bunch of grapes
Cherries (the stem is a scraped and dried vanilla bean
split into three 'branches')
An orange
An apple (the stem is a star anise)
A pear (the stem and the star in the bottom--that you can't
see in this photo--are star anise)
Blueberries
A cat
A snail
Aren't these wonderful?! We are going to airbrush them next class so that they are the proper colors.
