Instructions
- Break almond paste into small pieces over a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and work it in with your hands until incorporated. It will be crumbly. Add another 3/4 cup of sugar and work it in really well. Pour in corn syrup and work it in until evenly blended. Spread remaining sugar out on a clean work surface and knead dough until smooth and uniform, 3 to 5 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, knead in more sugar. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. It should have the consistency of modeling dough.
- Break off small pieces of marzipan to color, kneading in color thoroughly until you arrive at desired color. Then blend colored pieces into larger portions of dough. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with confectioners' sugar. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using small cookie cutters to make candies.
