Marzipan Bugs

1. 1

   Mix black food colouring into the marzipan, this will take some time and turn everything your touch black.

2. 2

   Cut or break marzipan into beetle sized lumps.

3. 3

   Roll each lump into a elongated ball, about an inch long.

4. 4

   Flatten slightly until roughly bug shape.

5. 5

   Make groove in the bug to make it look like an egyptian scarab beetle.

6. 6

   Dab a small brush into the Edible Luster and then wipe most of it off on a kitchen tissue, then brush the wings/shell of the beetle.

7. 7

   Add a second colour if you want a shimmering beetle effect.

8. 8

   Optional; roll some marzipan into tiny sausage, which are going to be the legs.

9. 9

   Cut the tiny sausages into 3 shorter sausages, enough to sit under the beetle and poke out each side.

10. 10

    Layout legs, stick beetle on-top, carefully wait to harder a bit before moving.
