You can use any other food-safe trinket instead if you prefer, or opt to omit it entirely if you do not wish to play the game. :)ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-72191370503412653382016-11-10T18:44:15.290-08:002016-11-10T18:44:15.290-08:00What does the 'bean' do for this awesome l...What does the 'bean' do for this awesome looking desert?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746650972638393720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-13648669365678232142010-01-06T22:18:06.912-08:002010-01-06T22:18:06.912-08:00That photo is stunning!That photo is stunning!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766383730969166724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-56177233258459895082010-01-05T13:48:53.722-08:002010-01-05T13:48:53.722-08:00Hi Hilary, I love your cute cupcake photos!

Enjoy your Galette tomorrow! :)<br /><br />Oh, and one more thing I wanted to share: after cutting the rounds of puff pastry from the square sheets, I sliced the corners into strips and criss-crossed them decoratively to make a "crown" around the border of my galette. The crown stands out in beautiful relief after the dusting of powdered sugar!<br /><br />Ericaericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-72363735080835681862010-01-05T13:26:10.219-08:002010-01-05T13:26:10.219-08:00Hi Mary,

I would substitute the 10 ounces of marzipan with 6 oz. almond paste and 4 oz. sugar (keeping the 60/40 ratio by weight rather than volume). The general weight-to-volume ratio for granulated sugar is about 2.4 cups per pound. So if you don't have a kitchen scale, you could use about 2/3 cup sugar. The conversion factor is different for almond paste, and 6 oz. of almond paste turns out to be 2/3 cup as well. (For a great list of more weight-to-volume conversions, check out http://www.sweetnapa.com/volume-to-weight-ingredient-conversion.)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Apricosa, and Happy baking!ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-49632870440103104832010-01-05T09:51:39.659-08:002010-01-05T09:51:39.659-08:00Can you use almond paste and sugar to make the mar...Can you use almond paste and sugar to make the marzipan?
