  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8       oz           Almond paste
   2 1/4   c            Confectioner's sugar
   1                    Egg white -- beaten lightly

  * Blend the almond paste and sugar together. Add enough egg white
    to create the consistency of modeling clay.
  
  Banana:

  Color the marzipan light yellow and roll it into the banana shape.
  Dissolve cocoa in a little water and, with a small paint brush,
  streak the fruit with brown lines.
  
  Apple:

  Color the marzipan light green or green yellow. Shape into apple
  shape and make an impression on top with a chopstick. Finish the
  apple with a brown stem and a green leaf made of marzipan.
  
  Strawberry:

  Color the marzipan red and shape it into a strawberry. Roll the
  berry in granulated sugar. Make the hull with green marzipan.
  
  Orange:

  Make a smooth ball of orange-colored marzipan; then press a piece
  of paper towel against the sides to create the texture of orange
  skin. Push a whole clove into the stem end of the orange.
  
  Yield: 8 Miniatures

  Use chopsticks or toothpicks help the modeling process. Paste food
  coloring is the best, though liquid works OK.
