Lucky Charm Made from Marzipan
The perfect lucky charm made from marzipan recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 115 g Marzipan raw mass
- 45 g Powdered sugar
- 0,25 tsp Rose water
- Food coloring red, white, black, yellow, pink
- Some powdered sugar for later kneading with the colors
- Knead the raw marzipan mass with powdered sugar and rose water until a smooth, non-sticky dough is formed. Then divide into the following portions: for red = 40 g, white = 45 g, black = 40 g, yellow = 15 g, pink = 20 g
- Now color the individual portions one after the other. To do this, lightly dust the work surface with a little powdered sugar, plate the portion on it, spread the color (amount depending on intensity) and knead. If the marzipan becomes a bit sticky again, just add a little more powdered sugar and knead everything until the mixture is well colored and no longer sticks.
- Halve the “white” and branch off another approx. 5 g from one half. Shape the larger half into a cube and the slightly smaller half into a foot for a mushroom. Have the remaining small amount ready for points, eyes, etc. Later dab the dots on the cube with black food coloring.
- Divide the “red” so that one half is slightly larger. Shape the hat for the mushroom from the smaller one and the body for the beetle from the larger one.
- Form 1/3 of the “black” head of the beetle and place it on the red body of the beetle and press it down firmly. Branch off a tiny amount of the remaining black (for eyes and points) and form the cylinder from the remaining mass.
- Shape “yellow” into a roll of approx. 11-12 cm, bend it into a horseshoe, lightly plate and model.
- Shape “Pink” into a lucky pig …. let your imagination run wild ….. Finally, use the remaining white to add the dots to the mushroom, glue the eyes of the pig and beetle from a bit of white and black and round them put a white ribbon on the hat.
- Take clovers for good luck and decorate everything for the New Year’s Eve buffet ………. birthday but also ………. (Link for the shamrocks see here: lucky shamrock cookies
