Real Marzipan 1:1 is the classic choice when you want cakes and pastries to look as good as they taste. With a rich almond character and a naturally smooth, ivory finish, it rolls out beautifully for cake covering and stays pleasantly workable for modelling shapes, flowers and little figurines. Whether you’re decorating a celebration cake, creating elegant marzipan details for patisserie, or preparing fillings for pralines, this marzipan helps you achieve clean lines, fine detail and a premium look.

Use almond marzipan for covering cakes, modelling shapes and characters, cutting out motifs and other decorative work. You can colour the marzipan with all types of food colouring, and you can lighten it with edible whitening. Marzipan can also be used in baking: grate it and flavour cake batters, or make a marzipan crumble by mixing 70 g marzipan with 15 g butter and 50 g coarse flour. It’s also delicious in fruit dumplings—replace the stone in an apricot or plum with a small ball of marzipan. For praline filling, grate the marzipan into a pan, add a little cream and melt gently.

Before covering or modelling, knead the marzipan thoroughly. For covering a cake, roll out a sheet approx. 0.3–0.5 cm thick, dusting with icing sugar while rolling. To transfer onto the cake, wrap the sheet around a long tube/rolling pin. Use cake smoothers/irons for a neat finish, and consider using modelling tools to create interesting effects. For shimmering and colourful surface effects, use dust colours (e.g. pearl effects), edible pens, and liquid or gel colours. Join modelled pieces with edible glue or a homemade mix of egg white and icing sugar.
