can i use ready to roll white icing rathen than marzipan? is there a difference? thanks

[djcssp]

@xmollycx You can use it. There is a difference though, The marzipan is made of ground almonds with sugar and glucose syrup. It is also tan in color before you add color. The white rolled icing you are talking about is probably fondant. If you use fondant and it wants to droop or is not stiff enough you can knead small bits of gum tragacanth into it at a time and that will make it stand up better. Gum paste is the other alternative. Thanks for watching!

[temartem1]

while i watched the video i ate marzipan

[djcssp]

@temartem1 That is a good thing.

[econtreras0808]

What is Marzipan?

[djcssp]

@econtreras0808 Marzipan is a sweet dough made with almonds, sugar and glucose syrup. You can buy it in the store in the gourmet isle. It comes wrapped in plastic in a tube shaped like a sausage. You can also use marzipan to mix into recipes like almond cake or almond macaroons

[VincentMichael207]

Thank you! I'm going to make these tomorrow for the centerpiece for a wedding cake I've been working on! I find that you can dye the marzipan with reduced beet juice concentrate! It's a gorgeous color!

[suesther]

Hello! thanks for your video is really helpfull, quick question... for how long can I keep my figures in the freezer before I use them?

[djcssp]

@suesther You can use them right away. You don't have to put them into the freezer unless you want to make them in advance, like more than a couple days before hand. Otherwise make them and put them onto the cake right away.

thanks so much. i just finished making a cake covered with fondant and since marzipan is expensive i just bought a little from the shop and make roses with them. am glad for your video, am surprise i am able to make a rose, it was easy with your method and it came out beautiful. all my friends are also wondering if i did it myself. thanks a lot may God continue to bless and give u more inspiration.

[djcssp]

Thank you so much. Enjoy your cake decorating!

[mamajossi]

@ DJCSSP what is d diffrence btw marzipan and fondant.? is it d same thing? i live in germany and marzipan is so expensive so i use the marshmmallows kind of fondant can u pls tell me if it can serve as marzipan or is marzipan a different kind of icing

[djcssp]

Marzipan is different than fondant. It is not really an icing, but rather it is a dough. Fondant does not make good roses. Marzipan is made from ground, blanched almonds, sugar, and sugar syrup or glucose. You can find recipes for it on the internet. Just google the keywords "Marzipan Recipe"

[kcl060]

Wow, what a beautiful job! Thank you!

[djcssp]

Thanks, and you're welcome!

[PebbleBreeze]

very cool, good video!!! they look so great!

[djcssp]

Thank you so much! I hope you try to make them sometime.

[alishepwil]

Beautiful and thank you. This video was very helpful. :)

[kingFahaad]

hey u know u don't need to say rude things ok >:(

[Nik240692]

You're right... I don't need to, but I did :-)

[bunnybrain]

nice video but if you need to make more than just one rose in a century it takes a bit long.

what i really really don't get is why they all need helping parts and tools and all that stuff you would need to buy especially...why overcomplicate it???

[djcssp]

with practice you can make them faster. This is an old european art. Lots of bakers take the time to do this because the flowers look real.

[Misami2]

Where can you buy those small green cutters? I live in sweden so.. i kinda need some tips of where i could find em^^

[shebangsteganandsara]

haha you say marzipan funny

[mac3532]

How far in advance can you make your roses for the cake and where or how do I store them before placing on cake?

[djcssp]

The water makes the marzipan sticky so that the petals will stick to the rose and not fall off. There is no whipped cream in marzipan. Marzipan is like modelling clay made from ground almonds, sugar and a little sugar syurp. It is very dense not fluffy at all.

[JGetch]

Lovely! Out of curiosity can you use fondant instead of marzipan?

[djcssp]

you can but fondant is a bit softer so they may get a little floppy. If you do try it I would recommend having extra powdered sugar to knead into it to make it firmer.

[MadrigAltoGrrrl]

question: how long should the roses dry?

[djcssp]

You don't really need them to dry. They will in about an hour or two if you have low humidity. You can put them on your cake right away as long as you are not putting the cake in the refrigerator.

[MadrigAltoGrrrl]

AWESOME! thank you thank you thank you! i was searching for instructions on how to make marzipan roses, and finally i thought, "there's probably a video on youtube!" and i was right!

i know how to make roses out of icing with a decorating bag, but i'm making a vegan cake... and marzipan is vegan, so yay!

[pinkychachacha]

not as much as one would think. refined sugar is refined with animal bones. its rough. im pretty much a "waste of culinary education" bc of my vegetarian/bordering on vegan views. theres so few things in the bakeshop that are 100% veg. dont even get me started on gelatin. thank god for agaragar

[quita71]

Love it! My daughter's class is having a carnival this weekend & yesterday they sent a flyer saying"Bakers wanted" so I signed up to make cupcakes but I want to try something new. Can't wait! Thanks so much for sharing!

[djcssp]

Have fun!

[quita71]

Hello, thanks I did but at first I was frustrated because the marizpan I had purchased was hard as a rock so it took me a while to finally get it soften. But besides that my flowers came out cute, I also had some cupcakes w/ the # 21 on it since the cupcakes were for my daughters school carnival (PS21) thanks so much for sharing your techniques, greatly appreciate! Looking forward to the holidays! :) Take care!

[suziecrafter10]
