I am about to attempt to sculpt a 'Beaver' out of marzipan to go ontop of a cake for a scout leader's Birthday.
It needs to be brown in colour - hopefully two tone - and was wondering which would be the best way to create it. You can't seem to buy brown colouring, so I was wondering if I should attempt to mix my own using yellow, red and blue colourings or to melt down cofffe granules?? I think the marzipan I've got is a very pale yellow... haven't checked.
What would you good people advise??
