How do you make your yarn so perfectly shaped? I’m sure mine would come out all lumpy and bumpy. GORGEOUS! Please do share your secret of neat “yarn rolling”! Thank you!
That’s fantastic! My first thought was to actually knit the marzipan, but then I figured it would melt. So I had to come check out your tutorial, because I was certain it would say something like, “Freeze needles for 3 days beforehand, and be sure to wear insulated gloves…”
I’m saving this to my list of projects, under the category of “ambitious but not impossible.” Thanks!
I have join a crochet club and we use lots of yarn if we ever have a party this is the project to do. I love it ! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone was asking about marzipan made without egg whites. Note that you need SOMEthing for an emulsifier, otherwise when you grind the almonds they turn into oily crust that’s nigh-impossible to clean out of your grinder.
The Elizabethans used gum tragacanth; grind it to a powder and knead it into the almond mush right after the first grinding.
When I make the marzipan Boar’s Head every winter (and I use egg white because it’s easier, but I have used gum tragacanth experimentally), I grind the almonds twice on the coarse disk and four more times on the fine disc. It’s still not as fine as the commercial stuff — I don’t know how many times you’d have to fine-grind it to achieve that — but it’s adequate for sculping.
QUESTION…I HAVE REC. 4 MARZIPAN WITHOUT EGG WHITES…SAIS HAS A 2 MO REFRIG “SHELF” LIFE…CAN IT B FROZEN WHEN AIR TRIGHT..IF SO HOW LONG??? FIRST TIME 2 TRY…THANKS JEG
In addition to the “Recipes for Vegans” recipe for marzipan above, I’ve also found one on VegWeb – http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6723.0 . I think it’s interesting how the VegWeb one calls for only almonds, sugar, and rosewater, while the other calls for almonds, margarine, flour, sugar, and almond essence. I’m going to have an interesting time making these, and such a great time making the cupcakes themselves!
On another note – I know that World Market stores here in Texas carry marzipan for baking, though I haven’t looked to see if it’s vegan.
The most amazing ideas. Wonderful ideas. Way to go in teaching Martha Stewart your ideas. I’m sure the world will be emailing you. Even from the YUKON in Canada
Hey Lolo,
That was awesome!!!!!!
I am a giant marzipan fan myself.
I make white choc-chip muffins with marzipan decor on the top…They taste “the best”…!!! I also make marzipan figurines e.g animals. for a local sweets store, they offer me 15 bucks per dozen I make, but I dont take the money ’cause I just do it for fun!
It was so awesome though, your tutorial.
Bye,

Hello! I have just discovered your blog and I must tell you it’s fantastic! I’m vegetarian, so :-)))… Great! I simply love the recipes, the photos, the colours of the blog… Congratulations!
Just wondering if anyone has tried this with fondant? If so, does it work the same? Any major catastrophes? I want to try this so bad for my knitting clubs “yarn tasting” next week.
I found your email address in “Yen” Mag. What a find ! Love everything. I was so affraid when my son said he was now vegan. Not any more. Love from a greatful Mum, Pat
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love it and will definitely give it a try as I am in a knitting club and my friends will love it. Also, thank you to “Crooked Brains” for featuring this on their site.
