im making an elmo cake - and trying to figure out the correct color of elmo. is he red? red-orange? or orange-red?
also, im thinking of trying to make a little girl figurine out of marzipan, do i need to add gumpaste to help it harden? and how do you color on marzipan? the same way as gumpaste?
TIA
