What is Marzipan?
Pastry chefs all over the world have used marzipan for centuries. Marzipan is a sweet, pliable mixture of almond paste and sugar. Our cakes feature this tasty delicacy as the crowning glory to your hand-made creation.
History tells us that marzipan was found in Arabia and brought to Europe by Spanish Moors. For a long time only apothecaries were entitled to prepare and sell this delicacy. It was thought of as strong flavored bread to which precious stones and pearls were ground and added to cure ailments and prolong life.
Then came a great drought in Italy and almonds were the only substantial crops to survive. Marzipan was then consumed by all. It flourished as people discovered they liked the sweet confection that brought them through their famine. The recipe found its way to Lubeck, Germany, and made its home there for the ages. Lubeck is the official home of the finest Marzipan. Our recipe is a direct descendant of the original one used in European confectioneries. We believe you will taste the finest North America offers!
Today marzipan is found at finer bakeries and pastry kitchens. It is used in special holiday desserts to make hand-rolled sculptures of fruit or to coat cakes and petite fours. We feel that your event is a holiday, and sculpt you a personal creation from our artist's skilled and talented hands.
The Erotic Bakery is one of a kind, just like the cake creation we prepare for you and your one of a kind event!
