NEW Squires Kitchen Marzipan:

Available in 500g and 2.5kg packs this premium-quality almond paste gives a perfectly smooth, crack-free finish.

This versatile medium comes in sets of two pre-printed, edible sheets and can be used in clever ways to decorate your homemade bakes in an instant: simply wrap a sheet around your Christmas cake, cut out a circle to top off your cupcakes, use instead of plain wafer paper on your coconut macaroons or, our favourite idea, make Christmas jumpers for your gingerbread men!
