Prepare Marzipan, coloring it red as shown in photoG, set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 13×9-inch pan.

and cool completely on rack.
Bring cream and butter to a simmer in small saucepan; remove from heat. Add
chopped chocolate, stirring until melted. Cool to room temperature. Cover;
refrigerate until cake is well chilled, about 2 hours.
Divide marzipan into 4 equal parts. Roll 1 part into 1/2-inch-thick rope.
Place rope between sheets of waxed paper and roll into strip 1-inch wide
and 15 to 18 inches long (use sharp knife to make edges straight).
