Oh you did a nice job piping the ganache. That looks really nice. Things done well often look simple. Very cleanly sliced too. Compliments! :thumbsup:
Almond paste (marzipan)
Recipe from Bruno Albouze on yt

For the Stollen.

Almond flour
Honey
Corn syrup
Sugar
Water
Almond extract

Cook sugar and water to 244F, then pour in a thin stream into almond flour on stand mixer using paddle attachment. Add a few drops of almond extract then mix for 5 minutes. Form into a log and wrap tightly with plastic. Can be used for anything that calls for almond paste. This is not, however, decorating marzipan and can not be formed into flowers or decorations. Decorating marzipan has a higher sugar content and lower almond content.

Looks great! Home made?
Made some spoon method Black & Tan and even a Half & Half with Kilkenny. I haven't lost my barmaid touch. Although it's easier and tastier from the tap.:)

Got it from Wegmans, was very delicious, I wish my baking skills were that good!
Yes the crust looks good too. I never shopped at Wegmans. Seems like their bakery is pretty good. I did shop at Stew Leonard's a few times and bakery was very good I thought. It's been a while since I lived on the East Coast.

When I was going to college, I was bartending at a local Pub to help pay for my tuition. :)
Avid baker here! This is a Swedish strawberries & cream cake which I made. I have a particular interest in traditional Nordic baking because I visit that part of the world regularly.

Not the most difficult to make and the ice cream certainly makes it better.
