Marzipan is a rich filling dough of ground almonds and sugar.
It is used to cover cakes and pastries, as a filling, to make sweets and much more.
My marzipan recipe uses no eggs and is very quick and easy to make.

Nice looking cake Jeena, and thanks for your step-by step photos too. pls. drop by my blog and pick up your award. :)
Oh Jeena, you've outdone yourself! I've never seen this cake before, and it looks like something that could be served at a formal tea. I love the fun colors, and that marizpan wrap ... wow! I'm having a love affair with all things almond right now! Your step by step photos are fantastic and really help show how to put this together. Another wonderful post from your kitchen!
hi it is a wonderful site. i have a query. i don't get maple syrup back home. what can i use instead of maple syrup?thanks
Hi there, you can use corn syrup or golden syrup instead.
Thanks for visiting JeenasKitchen.blogspot.com
Ever since I relocated into the midwestern US marzipan has been kinda hard to find. This recipe really satisfied my cravings! It's not the absolute best one I've had (that came from a marzipan company), but it's definetly really, really good! I will be making it again, and again!
Another interesting recipe Jeena. I have bookmarked this one too.
Rakhi Asks
Are the almonds ground with or without their skin???
Hi Rakhi
It does not matter whether the almonds have been ground with or without the skin, but if you want the marzipan to look more pretty I would use no skin on them as it looks better.
Jeena is is there any other substitute to maple syrup, corn syrup or golden surup. Can i use liquid glucose or tylose powder to get elasticity?
Try making a home made sugar syrup. I am posting a sugar syrup recipe soon so keep watching out for the recipe.
If you make own sugar syrup only add a little to the almonds at a time to prevent adding too much and making the marzipan sloppy in texture.
Could you please tell me roughly how much marzipan this makes in weight? Thanks.
hi,i wanted to know if i should bake the marzipan before eating?
thanks....sapna
