Instructions
1
Mix two-color almond paste
Prepare about 60g each of pink and white almond paste. Roll with the palms of your hands into intertwined two-color rope shapes with uniform thickness.
2
Cut into strips
Cut the rope-shaped strips in half. Roll one half with a rolling pin into a flat, thin strip about twice its original length. Keep the other half covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
3
Extend with spatula
Hold the spatula at an angle against one side of the thin strip. Press outward and rub against the marble counter to extend it into thin sheets.
4
Imprint pattern
After mixing red and white, press into thin sheets with a light bulb, then imprint fine straight lines. Cut with a knife to create lovely, attractive carnations.
