The case of the missing marizipan carrots

On Tuesday's Lab, February 1st 2011, we made carrot cake the previous lab and marzipan carrots to decorate today. Unfortunately, my marzipan carrots went missing..I went up to watch the chef demo and I noticed my name on the paper was there, but my carrots were gone!

The mystery is how the heck did marzipan carrots grow legs? Upset and confused I went searching for my carrots.. eventually I did find them.

I know and remember precisely how i created these carrots. I rolled the orange marzipan into a ball then shaped into a cone like figure, used my pairing knife to roll and move the knife back and forth to create creases (wrinkles) in the carrots. I was the only one in the class that made vines out of the green marzipan for stems. Unfortunately the damage was done, it was placed on someone else's cake who wasn't there the previous classes. What's done is done. :(

Marzipan as defined is: a paste made from ground almonds, sugar, egg whites.
