Real Marzipan 1:1 is a classic almond marzipan paste made from finely ground almonds and sugar, created for everyone who wants a clean, elegant finish on cakes and pastries. Whether you’re covering a celebration cake, cutting out shapes, or modelling little figures and flowers, this marzipan rolls smoothly and holds detail beautifully. It’s also ideal for filling chocolates and pralines when melted with a little cream.

Before covering or modelling, knead the marzipan thoroughly until soft and elastic. For cake covering, roll out a sheet approx. 0.3–0.5 cm thick and dust lightly with icing sugar while rolling. To transfer the sheet neatly, wrap it around a long rolling pin or tube and unroll over the cake. Smooth the surface using cake smoothers/irons; for extra texture and decorative effects you can use embossing tools or modelling veiners. For shimmer and colour accents, finish with lustre dusts (including pearlescent effects), edible pens, and liquid or gel colours.

Real Marzipan 1:1 can be coloured with all types of food colouring and can also be lightened with edible whitening. It can even be used in baking: grate it into cake batters for a rich almond flavour. For a quick marzipan crumble, mix 70 g marzipan with 15 g butter and 50 g coarse flour. You can also add a marzipan ball inside apricots or plums for fruit dumplings, replacing the stone for a delicious surprise.

Real Marzipan 1:1 is intended for cold modelling, cake covering and confectionery decoration and contains 50% almond paste (ratio 50:50). Packed in a 1 kg block. Ready to use; optimal working temperature is 21°C.
