Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup almond paste
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Green gel food coloring
8 ice cream sugar cones
Additional confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the almond paste, marshmallow creme and corn syrup; mix well. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until combined. Turn onto a waxed paper-lined work surface; knead in food coloring. Divide marzipan in half. Roll each portion into a 10-in. circle between two pieces of waxed paper. Remove waxed paper; cut each circle into four wedges., For each tree, place tip of marzipan wedge at tip of ice cream cone; wrap around cone and pinch edges to seal. With kitchen scissors at a 45° angle pointed toward the top of the tree, cut "V" shapes into the marzipan. Work from top to bottom of tree, then continue around the tree until completed., Place a small amount of food coloring in a bowl; thin with water if desired. Brush over marzipan trees.
