There are two main types of Marzipan Moulds available in a wide range of fruits, vegetables and animal figures.

The first types are Hand Moulds, consisting of a small hinged block that is pressed by hand.

The second types are Press Moulds, which are inserted into a Marzipan Press. A range of these can be purchased for use in the press; simply slide one out and replace with a different design. The set up is ideal for quick production and there are over 100 standard models available. All have excellent detail of features and surface design.

The Marzipan Press

The press comes attached to a wipe-clean board, with non-slip feet.

The press ensures accurate size control of the different fruits and figures; the trimmings can be used again. All the different Press Moulds fit the one type of press.

Marzipan Moulds

All the Marzipan Moulds, both hand and press, are Teflon-lined to ensure quick release of the marzipan figure. They also incorporate fine detail, which can be subsequently emphasised with colouring or sugar features.

Finishing Marzipan Shapes & Figures

In order to finish the figures and shapes, if coloured marzipan is not being used, it is possible to spray or hand-paint the pieces.

A fine covering of Cocoa Butter can also be sprayed or painted and, while giving the product a slight shine - it is very beneficial to the shelf life of the marzipan shape as it seals the surface and stops it drying out too quickly. Cocoa Butter can be applied directly to the marzipan or over colouring.
