Blue marzipan for coating and modeling

This finely aromatic almond paste adds flavor and color to your cakes and pastries. It consists mainly of almonds and sugar and, unlike rolled fondant or flower paste, its almond aroma actively contributes to the enjoyment and is eaten with pleasure. The blue coloring adds elegant accents to coatings and decorations. What is it suitable for? You can use blue marzipan to cover entire cakes, such as the classic Swedish cake with its dome. Roll it out to a thickness of 4 to 7 mm on some baking starch or powdered sugar; 250 g is enough for a dome with a diameter of 14 cm. Thanks to its slightly sticky texture, the coating adheres well and other decorations also stay securely in place. How else can you use it? Shape figurines, flowers or fruit; marzipan potatoes dusted with cocoa powder and classic marzipan fruits are also popular. Marzipan is a versatile base for pralines and pastries, for example for chocolate pralines with chocolate ganache and a thin couverture coating or for a moist fruit and almond cake. Marzipan blue is also a suitable choice for pralines and fine pastries.
