Classics and New Creations
Marzipan has earned its place in bakery history through iconic creations. Wedding cakes and Christmas cakes are perhaps its most famous canvas. Its texture makes it perfect for creating smooth finishes and intricate sugar craft decorations – from delicate flowers to elegant figurines. It’s no surprise that it remains a favourite of professional cake makers.
Then there’s the timeless Battenberg cake. With its distinctive pink-and-yellow checkerboard sponge wrapped in this nutty, sugary confection, it has been delighting generations. Fondant fancies too, often hiding a thin layer beneath their pastel icing, are another British classic where the almond confection plays a starring role.
While classics remain essential, this almond-sugar delight is also a medium ripe for innovation. There are some less conventional ways bakers and sugar crafters are reimagining this almond favourite. Those include, ice cream! Chunks of the velvety almond blend is incorporated through almond ice cream, as seen by many on social media platforms. A more accessible and commercial way of it being used is by rolling it into balls, and coated in chocolatey goodness, often topped with almonds for decoration.
Marzipan is much more than a layer beneath icing. With BFP now stocking Zeelandia’s Natural and Golden version of this almond-sugar classic, it’s easier than ever to elevate your creations with premium quality and outstanding flavour. Roll it, mould it, fill with it, or eat it straight.
