how do u make marsapan?

Answer 1

MARZIPAN:
2 cups of confectioners sugar
½ pound of finely ground blanched almonds (or prepared almond paste as directed on box)
2 egg whites
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of almond extract
Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth and completely blended together.
Wrap or cover tightly and chill until firm.
Note…Color marzipan decorations as needed, pinch off a little at a time, color and blend before using.
Marzipan can be colored with food coloring gel or paste while it is in dough form or rolled out flat and shaped using cookie cutters and then painted with food coloring gel, paste or powder using an artist-type paintbrush or sponge.
To paint on food coloring allow the Marzipan shapes to dry for approximately 2-hours to prevent the food coloring from running into unwanted areas.

When mixing food coloring into the dough…use one drop at a time as 1-drop of food coloring may well be all you need…better not enough than too much.
Cocoa powder works great for producing the color brown.
Allow the Marzipan 24-hours to dry thoroughly.

Cloves can be used for stems top or bottom on fruit shapes.
Toothpicks can be used to make creases, dimples or designs.
Roll dough gently against a hand-held grater for special effects.
Roll, stretch, pull, pinch or use cookie cutters for particular shapes or figurines

Answer 2

Marzipan or Almond paste is really easy to make, and the homemade version is much softer and easier to work with than the bought packs - go for it!

225g/8oz icing sugar
225g/8oz caster sugar
450g/1lb ground almonds
2 eggs, beaten lightly
1 lemon, juice only

Sift icing sugar into a bowl and add castor sugar and ground almonds. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix to a stiff paste. Knead until smooth, keep in plastic bag until you need it, or it will start to harden.

If when you are rolling it out it starts to stick, shake a little icing sugar onto the surface and onto the rolling pin.
Enjoy!

Marzipan is a type of edible dough used mostly for decoration on cakes, but is also used as a covering for cakes but it is also used in cookies, candy and pastries.

Marzipan can be rolled in your hands to form different fruit shapes, flowers, leaves or any other creative decoration you have in mind.

Be sure to wear plastic gloves if you color the Marzipan with food coloring or the coloring will come off on your hands.

Marzipan has a strong almond flavor as it is made with crushed, ground to powder-form blanched almonds.

Do not confuse Almond Paste with Marzipan, as almond paste is coarser in texture and not as sweet.

Marzipan has a sweet flavor and dries to a hard texture, but it is flexible and easy to work with while it is still in dough form.

Marzipan is prepared into dough form and can be molded into a flat ball shape and then rolled out between two sheets of wax paper or a working surface dusted with confectioners’ sugar.

When rolled out, Marzipan can be used as a thin covering over a cake usually before a fondant icing is applied to protect the fondant icing from moisture.

The Marzipan itself can be used as instead of frosting or icing.

Work Marzipan at room temperature and always keep it covered when not in use to keep it from drying out.

Marzipan can be colored with food coloring gel or paste while it is in dough form or rolled out flat and shaped using cookie cutters and then painted with food coloring gel, paste or powder using an artist-type paintbrush or sponge.

To paint on food coloring allow the Marzipan shapes to dry for approximately 2-hours to prevent the food coloring from running into unwanted areas.

When mixing food coloring into the dough…use one drop at a time as 1-drop of food coloring may well be all you need…better not enough than too much.

Cocoa powder works great for producing the color brown.

Allow the Marzipan 24-hours to dry thoroughly.

Marzipan can be purchased ready made at your local supermarket. It comes in rolled form and is usually found in a box the shape of toothpaste.

The cost of prepared Marzipan is in the neighborhood of $4.00 a tube.

If needed Marzipan can be made by using the recipe below.



2 cups of confectioners’ sugar

½ pound of finely ground blanched almonds (or prepared almond paste as directed on box)

2 egg whites

½ teaspoon of salt

½ teaspoon of almond extract



Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth and completely blended together.

Wrap or cover tightly and chill until firm.



Note…Color marzipan decorations as needed, pinch off a little at a time, color and blend before using.

Cloves can be used for stems top or bottom on fruit shapes.

Toothpicks can be used to make creases, dimples or designs.

Roll dough gently against a hand-held grater for special effects.
