Marzipan Black

Marzipan consists mainly of almonds and sugar, so it is a real little treat. Unlike rolled fondant or flower paste, it actively contributes to the enjoyment of a cake decorated with it due to its almond aroma and is thus eaten with pleasure. For those with a sweet tooth, marzipan can also be shaped and enjoyed pure. This is how you create noble and delicious decorations.

Marzipan - application

You can use marzipan to coat entire cakes; the Swedish cake, for example, with its typically green dome, is particularly well-known. To do this, make a Swedish cake from light sponge cake and fluffy vanilla cream and refrigerate it. Then roll out the marzipan on some baker's starch or powdered sugar to a thickness of about 4 to 7 mm. For a dome with a diameter of 14 cm, 250 g of marzipan is well enough. Then cover the cake with the marzipan, cut off the rest, knead it again and either use it for decoration or pack it in an airtight container. Since the marzipan is somewhat sticky, it adheres well to the cake and further decorations will not fall off again.
