My Dream Wedding Cake: Marzipan vs. Fondant
By admin | March 14, 2009
A wedding cake created by Martin Perham
When a bride contacts me to make her wedding cake, I invite her to come to my bakery to talk about her ideas for her special day. One of the most frequent questions that a bride asks is “‘What is the difference between marzipan and fondant?” Marzipan is made of almonds and it tastes better. It can be dyed into any color but it can never be snow white. If you want a bright white wedding cake then choose fondant. Fondant can also be dyed into any color but it is more sweet. Both are used to enrobe the cake. This weekend, at Martin’s Fine Desserts bakery, I made a wedding cake enrobed in marzipan and decorated with sugar flowers.
