• shape and form into desired shapes.
• For a Bee: Color some of the marzipan yellow and some brown.
• Make tiny balls of each color and press then together to make the body.
• Then make 1 more round ball for the head and secure it onto the body.
• Make 2 little black dots on the head for eyes.
• Use toasted almond slices for the wings.
• For lemons and limes: Color some marzipan with green for the limes and yellow for the lemons.
