Marzipan is traditionally eaten on Santa Claus’ day and in the weeks leading up to it, as children put their shoes near the chimney (or near the central heating radiator) at night. They will find a small present or candy in their shoe the next day. The Christmas stocking is connected to this custom.<\/p>\n

Coloured marzipan<\/h3>\n

Just knead the food colouring into the dough. Liquid colouring is easiest to use, food colour paste will result in brighter colours. Start with a small amount, and add a little more until you are satisfied with the result. For a multi-coloured figurine, divide the marzipan into portions according to the colours that will be used.<\/p>\n
