One of my favorite blogs is Love and Olive Oil. I first discovered it when I was looking for a recipe for a cake. A friend of mine brought me some marzipan and crushed pistachios from Italy and I wanted to use them for something delicious. I found this recipe for Pistachio Marzipan Petit-Four Cake.
This is by far one of the best cakes I have ever made, but also the most difficult. I attempted to make it a second time for my birthday this year and didn’t have marzipan from Italy. I thought I’d try making my own…failure.
If you’re feeling ambitious, and you like marzipan, make this cake (and then invite me over).
