At dec. 5th we celebrate 'sinterklaas'. Its most of all for the children, with lots of special sweets and presents.
If you want to know more about sinterklaas (or sint nicolaas) check wikipedia
Mix 250 grams of ground almonds with 400 grams of sieved icing sugar. Knead the almonds, castor sugar and 3 or 4 tablespoons rose water into a supple dough. Wrap in plastic or aluminum foil and allow to rest in a cool place overnight. Make figurines of the marzipan.
Most common is little balls, coverd with cacao (we call it marsepein-aardappeltjes *marsepein-potatoes*)
If you wish, you can color the marzipan with food coloring.
