    Not an F1 post :):):)

    Not keen on it myself, I usually take it off along with any icing.

    I mean, why ruin cake by covering it in that muck?

    Love marzipan on cakes! There was one I had on Italy that was a sponge cake with icing and marzipan which was delicious. Think it was called Cassata.

    You always struck me as sensible.

    How wrong I was.

    I'll eat it but I'd rather it wasn't there.

    Fine with marzipan, icing goes straight in the bin.

    You should edit your thread title and change it to "Is Marzipan any good?"

    I don't mind the odd little bit of marzipan but most cakes have way too much so you can't actually taste the cake. When it comes down to fruit cake (especially Christmas cake soaked in brandy) I like it with cheese.

    On the subject of cakes, am I the only one who finds cake mixture (before baking) far more delicious than the finished cake?

    Yuk! No thanks. I finally succeeded last December, to convince the wife not to put any marzipan and icing on the Xmas cake as I detest both. That took me 32 years.....

    One of life's pleasures was for mi mam to let me scrape the bowl sides wi mi fingers after mixing the ingredients and filling the cake tin.
