• Add almond flour and powdered sugar to food processor. Pulse until combined.
• Add almond extract, date syrup and water. Mix until a thick dough forms.
• Remove dough from food processor and knead for 30 seconds.
• If the dough is too sticky add more almond flour 1/2 tbsp at a time. Keep in mind that dough will become firmer after refrigeration.
• Place marzipan onto a cutting board or surface and form into a log. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Enjoy!

Making Marzipan Flowers

• Cut marzipan into three parts - two large and one small piece. Add a few drops of food coloring to each. Use colors of your choice. I used blue and green for the flower petals and yellow for the center of the flowers. Knead and add more coloring until desired color is reached.
• Using a rolling pin or your hands, roll each section of marzipan into 1/4 inch piece and use a mini flower cutter to make flower shapes in the blue and green dough.
• Roll small balls with the yellow dough and place in the center of each flower.
• Store in an air tight container. Will keep for at least a month in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.
• Bring to room temperature before using in any recipe. Makes 12-13 ounces of marzipan or almond paste
