Baby Shower Cake Marzipan
Marzipan is mostly used to mold edible sweets such as flowers, miniature fruit, figurines (like for cake toppers) and anything else you can imagine. It can also be rolled into sheets and used as icing (like fondant), and is colored more often that used in its natural state. Sometimes it’s used as a thin layer between cake and royal icing. This modeling wonder is a paste made of egg whites, cream of tartar, sugar and ground almonds. Powdered sugar is often used for dusting as well. Our favorite, is when bakers flavor it with rosewater. We also love gin fizzes with rose water, but that’s a separate web site! Odense of Denmark makes the most commonly used marzipan, you have probably seen this on your local grocery store shelves. They are usually sold in 7 oz. boxes.
