FRUTTA MARTORANA WORKSHOP

The magic of a sweet that looks like a work of art — to admire first and savor later.
Frutta Martorana is a marzipan-based dough shaped and painted to resemble real fruit. It originated in the 1500s when the nuns of the Martorana Convent in Palermo crafted and painted these sweets to decorate the fruit trees in their garden for an important autumn visit.
With our pastry chefs, you’ll learn how to make almond paste, shape it, and paint it so beautifully that eating it will feel like ruining a masterpiece.
And you’ll take home the secret to recreate it.
