Cooking marzipan figurines

Take 2 colors of food coloring: red and green. From red we will make berries, from green - leaves.

Take the cooled biscuit cakes and thread each into 2 identical, thinner cakes. Then prepare a tray for the cake and lay the first cake on it. Lubricate it generously with buttercream, and put the second one on top and so on until all the cakes are soaked with cream.

• Remove the template, the silhouette should remain on the cake.
• Draw eyes, nose, mouth, other important details.
