Marzipan gray

Marzipan consists mainly of almonds and sugar, making it a real little treat. In contrast to rolled fondant or flower paste, its almond flavor actively contributes to the enjoyment of a cake decorated with it and is therefore eaten with pleasure. For those with a sweet tooth, marzipan can also be formed and enjoyed on its own. This is how you create elegant and delicious decorations.

Marzipan - Application

You can cover entire cakes with marzipan, for example the famous Swedish cake with its typical green dome. To do this, make a Swedish cake from light-colored sponge cake and fluffy vanilla cream and chill it. Then roll out the marzipan to a thickness of around 4 to 7 mm on some baking starch or powdered sugar. For a dome with a diameter of 14 cm, 250 g of marzipan is sufficient. The cake is then covered with the marzipan, the leftovers are cut off, kneaded again and either used for the decoration or packed airtight. As the marzipan is a little sticky, it adheres well to the cake and further decorations will not fall off.
