Like its trendy cousin the macaron, the almond-based candy is having a moment
Marzipan peaches served at a recent dinner for Danish brand Stine Goya. Photo: Stine Goya A not-so-insignificant number of photos in my phone taken over the past five years are of marzipan. A picture of a basket of marzipan fruits on the counter at Monteleone’s in Carroll Gardens. A close-up of marzipan strawberries in the dessert case at the Soho Dean and Deluca. Marzipan carrots and pears at the Upper East Side Dean and Deluca. Marzipan lambs in the window of the Court Pastry Shop.
It makes sense that marzipan would see a spike in popularity in 2020. While “marzipan” refers to the almond paste itself, which can be used in everything from rainbow cookies to stand alone loaves, the small, hand-painted figures made by bakers like Fortunato and Fiorentino have all the weird visual appeal necessary to make something a hit in these ultra-visual, Instagram-influenced times.
