Marzipan Day of the Dead Skulls Tutorial
What you need:
- Silicone ice cube tray with skull shapes (I bought this one for $1.00 at a dollar store, but others with skull shapes can be found at large craft stores for about $10.00)
- Marzipan (I bought some at IKEA for $2.29)
- Cake/cookie sprinkles
- Take a small amount of marzipan and with fingers press into the mold
- Pop the marzipan skull out of the mold (the 7.1 oz. package of marzipan made 14 skulls)
- Decorate with sprinkles
PS When decorating the plate I added orange flower sprinkles because marigolds are the traditional flower for Day of the Dead. I also added some Mexican treats that I found in the Mexican section of a regular grocery store: Canel's chewing gum and de la Rosa peanut marzipan.
