It is not so difficult to prepare marzipan at home. But if you make flowers or animal figures out of it, your cake will cause a sensation.
Ingredients:
½ glasses of peeled and toasted sweet almonds
2 st. l. peeled and toasted bitter almonds (can be replaced with almond Lecker)
½ cl. powdered sugar
1-3 st. l. water
Grind both types of almonds in a coffee grinder to a state of dust, add powdered sugar, mix thoroughly, gradually adding water. Then heat the mass in a water bath until it separates from the walls of the pan. Place the marzipan on a cutting board sprinkled with powdered sugar and roll out. From the frozen mixture cut out any figures: flowers, leaves, diamonds, peas.
Marzipan can be given different shades with a few drops of syrup or jam, beet or carrot juice, liqueur, and cognac. You can use food coloring, but it is better to prefer natural remedies.
