    Marzipan fruit wedding cake   This marzipan pear started off as plain white marzipan, a light green tint of paste food coloring was added to the paste which was than kneaded to distribute the color evenly and than modelled from a sphere to a cone into a pear shape. A chestnut brown color was sprayed onto the marzipan pear through an airbrush to give the shape a more natural look. To make the marzipan pear appear more realistic another layer of the same color brown was sprayed again, this time to create a droplet texture effect and to emphasize the contours.

  The marzipan pear was then hand painted with confectioners varnish to give it a high gloss finish. To add a final touch a clove was placed on top of the pear as a stem. All the other marzipan fruit shapes were created the same way.
