Marzipan is a mixture of almonds, sugar, and sometimes egg whites. Its soft, pliable texture makes it ideal for sculpting and decorations. It is available in the baking aisle of supermarkets.

1 ounce marzipan
orange and red gel-paste food coloring
unsweetened cocoa powder, for decorating
small fresh carrot fronds, rinsed and
dried well

Ting marzipan with orange and red food coloring, a drop at a time, to reach desired color. Divide into 12 pieces. (Cover with plastic wrap wen not using.) Shape each piece into a ball, then roll into logs, tapering 1 end, to resemble carrots. note picture.
Dip a paring knife into cocoa powder. Make tiny indentations in each carrot with cocoa-dusted knife to evoke the vegetables texture. Carrots will keep, covered, for up to 1 week. Push fronds into top of each carrot before serving.
