This Marzipan candy recipe can be a great cover for a cake or cut into fun shapes to decorate cakes and cookies. You will need a little frosting to glue the marzipan to a cookie or cake and it can make for a yummy treat. It is especially yummy on a cake with cream and a little bit of your choice of jam between the layers!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 8 ounces almond paste

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • ¼ cup corn syrup

  • 3 drops any color food coloring

Directions

  1. Break almond paste into small pieces over a medium bowl. Add 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and work it in with your hands until incorporated. It will be crumbly. Add another 3/4 cup of sugar and work it in really well. Pour in corn syrup and work it in until evenly blended. Spread remaining sugar out on a clean work surface and knead dough until smooth and uniform, 3 to 5 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, knead in more sugar. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour. It should have the consistency of modeling dough.

  2. Break off small pieces of marzipan to color, kneading in color thoroughly until you arrive at desired color. Then blend colored pieces into larger portions of dough. Dust a work surface and rolling pin with confectioners' sugar. Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using small cookie cutters to make candies.
