The tentacles are made from purchased marzipan, an almond paste available in the baking section of most supermarkets. Marzipan provides a sort of ready-to-eat play dough that you can color green by kneading in paste coloring.
Author Sharon Bowers strongly recommends using paste coloring when working with marzipan. That’s because liquid color will change the texture, and the marzipan tentacles won’t stand up correctly on top of the cupcake.
