You need to mix up, three colors of Marzipan Dough.
White ( Blanched ),  Brown ( UN-blanched ) and Red ( food colored Blanch ).
To save cleaning it is best to start with White then move to Brown and last to Red dough.

You do need a gram Scale and a true Food Processor Grinder seen in picture #2

There is another ible that explains how to make the Amanita Muscaria appetizing
hallucinogenic mushroom simulations using the Doughs made here

This Is Real Old World Marzipan and has a Great Taste ! !

Don't confuse this with the fruity shaped marzipan fondant tasting
candy sold in US stores.

Step 1: WHITE MARZIPAN INGREDIENTS

For the WHITE Dough
  • 200 grams Blanched slivered Almonds.  Because slivered was only available in store

  • Now add the Egg White while the Sugar and Ground Almonds are spinning.  See the Movie_d
  • Finally add sugar if too wet or rum if to crumbly ( Dry ).   See the Movie_f

Take and store this White dough in a quart Zip Lock Bag to prevent premature hardening and drying.
