Candy Making: Marzipan can be colored and sculpted into a wide array of shapes, including fruits (Marzipan fruits are quite popular), animals, and other novelty items. These make for attractive dessert table additions, cake toppers, or unique, edible gifts.

Filling for Sweet Breads and Pastries: It can be used as a filling in various sweet bread and pastries. Examples include stollen (a German Christmas bread), marzipan croissants, or Danish pastries.
-
Ingredients in Cookies and Cakes: Ground marzipan can be used in cake and cookie batters to add a distinct, sweet almond flavor.
-
Coating for Chocolates: Some types of chocolates, especially bonbons or truffles, use marzipan as a sweet, flavorful coating or filling.
