The flour beetles are already spinning the counters in their homes.
Once it is clear that the almond filling is the right one, the difference between almond mass and marzipan still needs to be understood.
Both are made from almonds, but only one is right between the buns.
1. Almond paste
Almond paste is made at its simplest from almonds, icing sugar and a drop of boiling water. A few drops of bitter almond oil add extra flavor.
Almond paste is used as a filling right now in topical buns as well as in baking in general. The almond paste in the cake dough brings succulence and flavor.

2. Marzipan
The raw materials for marzipan and almond pulp are largely the same, as marzipan is a mixture obtained by continuing the almond pulp (butter and flour are added to the almond pulp, among other things).
Marzipan is used in caramels because it is used to coat filling cakes and marzipan also creates Finnish cake decorations.
Marzipan – unlike almond paste – can also be dyed and can be found in stores in many different colors.
