Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 400 g Marzipan raw mass
  • 16 whole peeled almonds
  • 200 g Icing sugar
  • 2 TEASPOONS Cocoa powder
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Rum
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 16 (approx. 4 cm ΓΈ) round sponge cake cookies e.g. tender orange cookies
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cling film

Directions

  1. 1

    Shape approx. 1/3 (130 g) of the entire raw marzipan mass into 16 evenly distributed balls. Press in one whole almond at a time and shape into small cones. These small cones form the filling of the wasps' nests.

  2. 2

    Knead the remaining 2/3 of the raw marzipan mass with icing sugar, cocoa and rum to a smooth mixture. Divide into 16 portions of equal size and shape each into small balls. Roll out the balls between 2 layers of cling film into circles about 3 mm thick.

  3. 3

    Cut the circles once to the middle. Place the marzipan cones on each cut circle and wrap around them. Roll the whole thing with a light handshake on the work surface and form it into a smooth cone.

  4. 4

    After this operation, immediately roll the cone in sugar and press it onto a biscuit. With the back of the knife pointing down, press horizontal grooves into the wasps' nests.
