Hi all,
My problem is, as the title suggests, my marzipan fruits. I made the recipe for Marzipan that's posted at Baking 911, and followed the directions to a T. My bananas have held up fine, but my oranges continue to flatten on the bottom when placed on a flat surface to dry, as do my apples. My strawberries simply won't hold their conical shape. I've tried refrigerating each shape after I make it, and it holds, but then when I take it out to add details, it flattens on the bottom, when set down to dry. I even added lots more confectioners sugar, to stiffen even more than it already was, but the side I put them down on, still flattens. Any ideas as to what could be causing this, and what to do? Thanks in advance
