Easter is not Easter at my home without carrot cake. I
have made this cake before but it is so beautiful, I decided to repeat it. After
all, isn’t it lovely?
Start with a tube of marzipan, an almond paste, and some food coloring.
Put a little of the food coloring in the marzipan and mix thoroughly.
Let your imagination run wild. With purple, you can make raddichio and eggplant
Or color it for carrots...
Or a bunch of carrots. I added the ridges with a dull knife. All the veggies, need leaves.
Or corn, making the kernels.
Roll small red balls and mark with a knife, an X on the top for the tomato.
Or roll an oblong red ball.. for watermelon.
Carefully roll out a piece of green marzipan and cover the red. Now you have a watermelon. Carefully cut in half.
Next, pulse a box of Oreo cookies, for your garden dirt.
I put it in a Ziploc Bag, cutting the end, making sure not to get any on the cream cheese frosting.
Now, you have a garden cake.....
without any weeding!!!
I put her on a pretty cake stand, ready for Easter Dinner.

Love your marzipan vegetables, how cute! I have had carrot cake on my mind all week, I have been wanting it for Easter. Thanks for stopping by my blog, you asked about my Easter Fitz and Floyd rabbits. I am not sure if they are still being made. You can go the the Fitz and Floyd website and take a look, you might also search ebay and see if they are for sale on there. Good luck.
