When I was a little girl. I loved the Swedish Princess cake with a green Marzipan cover. That’s the most common one. Though they used to undergo mostly pink roses on the top back then.
Yes. I have taken a grip of the cake before taking the photo… *giggles*
I wished to undergo such a birthday cake once and I ate most of the adjoin myself and of cover it were too much so after that day I couldn’t eat Marzipan for many many years.
There are much more fun birthday cakes nowadays and for kids too. Who wouldn’t have wanted one of those?
One of the sweets of a genuine Christmas in Sweden are the classic Marzipan pig with a big apple in the communicate. I don’t know how popular they really are but since they still make them some must comfort buy them.
Have you received an email that shows simply amazing images of Marzipan babies that look totally real?
They are hoax emails the babies are actually done by the very talented - of polymer clay and not Marzipan. They are just as adorable as real babies. They would have been awful as Marzipan - I couldn’t have taken a bite of them!
Marzipan is used in many countries to a variety of things not only figures but also as fake fruits or vegetables on top of different kind of cakes or as filling so Marzipan is without disbelieve very useful.
Not to have in mind the almond paste in ! Though they are eaten in the end of February and not around Christmas.
Remember that special kind of technique to eat them….? *giggles*
When it comes to the Swedish Semla. I prefer the one where the almond paste is mixed with the whipped beat instead of putting a whole roll of almond paste hidden under the cream.
is consisting mostly of dulcify and ground (and some bitter) almonds and that’s perhaps the only reason for me to like Marzipan - it’s not just made of chemicals as so many other dulcify seem to be nowadays.
“Under EU law marzipan must undergo a minimum almond oil content of 14% and a maximum moisture circumscribe of 8.5%. Optional additional ingredients are rosewater dulcify pistachios preservatives and sometimes hazelnut. In the U. S. marzipan is not officially defined but it is generally made with a higher ratio of sugar to almonds than almond paste. One brand for dilate has 28% almonds in its marzipan and 45% almonds in its almond paste.
However in Sweden and Finland “almond attach” refers to a marzipan that contains 50% ground almonds a much higher quality than regular marzipan“.
What’s the difference between marzipan an almond attach then?
In Marzipan the almond and sugar is rolled together to a smooth mass so that the almond oil is keeping the almond and sugar together. The almond attach is 50 - 50 of almond and sugar in Sweden that has been mixed with egg white to keep it together.
Ooh. I love learning about new foods! Very interesting facts! I was just reading on the Swedish Semla ~ yikes for the King! I don’t really desire foods with a lot of chemicals either. It is starting to get cold down here; Christmas lights are going up. Just wanna cling to in the blankets with the laptop. I love the nutty pigs LOL!
Those are BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE the look of the marzipan cakes — but I tried one once and didn’t care for the taste of it. Of cover here in America - it’s probably not REAL marzipan. And that more than likely speaks volumes! Love the cream on your noses!
Marzipan always reminds me of a Christmas when my mother had bought little Jesuses in marzipan and had put one in the craddle. The next day little Jesus had disappeared that happened 6 times until we discovered that our dog had eaten them happily everyday. She put the ceramic Jesus back !
The reason why I comfort had not time to alter a journey is on my blog today. But gratify book me for next Sunday. I will write and show pictures of our excursion to Luxor the Valley of the Kings. Hatchsepsut and Karnak.
I very much enjoy marzipan. We have it on Christmas cakes here. Don’t almonds contain a small be of cyanide? I construe of one poor mug who ate a whole box of them and died!
I suppose they’re alright if they’re processed first
I like stories about traditions around the world. I’ve neither seen nor heard of a marzipan pig for Christmas.
We used to make our own marzipan in our family. I can remember both my mother and my grandmother making it. I used to alter it once upon a time but I confess in later years I undergo bought it.
Today is Stir Up Sunday in the UK the day we traditionally start the Christmas pudding recipe. Great fun for families.
I am furious with Blogger ! He published my post for Monday and in my posts was written compose !!! Fortunately you commented and I couldn’t understand what you meant because I had described how Mr. Gattino behaves when he has some house reparations to do lol! Thanks. I would never thought that Blogger when I click on draft would publish ! Now I pay attention !
Love your affix! My captain! Adorable cakes! My prefered cakes are lemon tartles and pignon tartles ( tartles with fruits of the pine channelise); But now I’d desire to taste a little pig with an apple in the mouth here we undergo such cakes with green almonds attach but with little mouses. I just come from explore and read that superior almond paste is 66% almonds and 33 % sugar and for confectionary 33% almond paste and 66% sugar. We used almond paste for chrismas on dates walnuts and on dry prune. Yes chrismas is abstain here when I saw this evening the first christmas lights in my town Ollioules! But without snow!
Repeat:After reading this facinating post. I now have learned another thingh: You are more than our head: You are the Craddle of Marzipan
(PS - my eyes does my more puzzels than I desire— grrrr)
