When Marzipan is properly made it is about the sameconsistency as pie dough. Cornstarch is used for dust-ing to prevent sticking. To obtain a uniform size toyour marzipan pieces, roll out a long narrow lengthof marzipan 21/2 feet long and 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut into 1 1/4 inch lengths, as illustrated. If larger pieces of marzipan are desired, cut into 2 inch lengths. For all types of fruits and vegetables the procedure in forming them is almost identical except for slight variations. PEACHES Color marzipan a light yellow by working in a touchof yellow paste color. After cutting marzipan into pieces as previously described, roll pieces in yourhands to form a ball.
