Marzipan Bugs

Directions

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.
