Hi Yv,

Are you allergic to eggs? Depending on the issue I may recommend different things.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Michele,

Are you concerned about the health risks of the egg or do you want a vegan alternative?

Thanks, Zoë

I’m wondering if there is a way to make the marzipan without eggs?? I just read the article in Savuer. The pistachio marzipan peeked my interest to make it again. The very first time I candied fruit was to decorate a cassata for my then 13 yr. old dd who was studying Italian. It was soo much fun. The syrup is delicious too on ice cream. I wonder like how you replaced the Grand Marnier with juice and simple syrup. I was going to try the syrup from the fruit but I didn’t think about adding juice to help moisten the cake too. Thanks for posting all the steps and a better way to get the marzipan just right.
