- mixer or nimbus.
- For a leg-base crabmeat:
- already ready marzipan;

Instruction
1. Make marzipan. On 2 egg whites take 250 g of almonds and as much icing sugar. It is necessary to scroll almonds of 1 times via the meat grinder, then to add to it icing sugar and to overwind repeatedly. Lay out mix in a cup and shake up.
2. Add several drops of lemon juice and accurately mix. Gradually thin stream pour in protein. Shake up weight before obtaining the uniform test. It has to be quite dense.
3. From a piece of marzipan mold the extended droplet. Put on it a toothpick. It will be a rose core. It is possible to mold it and in a different way — to roll a circle, to cut off or tear off edges cloves, to curtail into a tubule and too to get on a toothpick. But it is in such a way better to mold from mastic.
4. Roll a ball from yellow or red marzipan. It has to be slightly larger than a droplet, you will do petals of it. Put a ball on a piece of food wrap, and cover with the second piece it from above. Roll a ball that round flat cake turned out. It has to be no more than 2 mm thick. Cut out a mold a floret.
5. A sharp knife make an incision lines of connection of petals. If a mold small, then it is necessary to make an incision no more than on 1 cm. A stick with a ball properly roll edges of petals that they became wavy and thin.
6. Put on the turned-out flower a toothpick closely to a core. Wrap up a core in one of petals, having slightly unbent its edges. Miss the following petal, and too wrap up in the third a core. So, through one, wrap up a core in all petals.
7. Make the second same floret and repeat all operations. For a rose from mastic it is possible to stick together separate petals and to wrap in them the central petal. Cut out leaflets. Roll flat cake from green marzipan and cut leaflets "asterisk". It is possible to extend and point slightly them, then they will resemble more the presents.
