I was very pleased with Love 'N Bake Almond Paste. It was much smoother, more malleable, and more easily incorporated into other ingredients than the stiffer, dryer Odense almond paste I've used before. The flavor was excellent as well. The only negative is the packaging. It has a pull-ring lid, so once it is opened, it cannot be resealed if all the almond paste is not used. Not a big problem, but it would have been nice if it came with a plastic lid as well. This is an expensive baking item, but worth the occasional splurge.

I'll admit it, I'm a bit of an almond addict. And Love N' Bake Almond Paste is the best out there, and is simply a must have for baking almond cookies like pignolis and deeply almond flavored cakes. It's the brand most often mentioned in cookbooks I trust, and for good reason. If you're making a recipe that calls for almond paste, use this type, which is smooth and creamy (and good enough to be eaten right out of the can!) as opposed to grocery store brands which are drier and more crumbly. Also, buying in this three pack saves you money over the individual price of one of these cans.

I used this product in the wedding cake I made for my daughter..the texture was perfect and creamed perfectly with the butter & eggs..the finished product was dense and easy to handle and the taste...to die for.

I have not purchased almond paste before, except at the grocery store in a tube which was harder to use. I thought this was a little pricey, but very smooth and creamy and therefore easy to use. I used it for a tiered birthday cake, and I used five cans making the cake worth it's weight in gold--BUT--so many people told me that it was best cake they ever ate that I would not take a chance on a different almond paste. This is my brand.

Great almond paste at a good price. It's tough to find anything other than the tubed variety in grocery stores. Even my local Italian deli did not carry the canned paste. This paste works perfectly in my pignoli nut cookie recipe.

Purchased this elsewhere for more money- won't do that again! Mainly use it for Gluten-free cookies, etc. Love it!

I had this and another brand to make Almond Cloud cookies (King Arthur Flour web site), and what a difference! This made cookies not only taste much better, but the appearance, etc. was 100%.
Will buy nothing else!

Made some almond cookies using this paste, wicked good! Used a recipe from King Arthur Flour.com, can of almond paste, sugar or sucralose, eggwhite, dash of salt, maybe some chocolate chips, yummo! This recipe only yields 12-15 cookies, and kind of pricey, but well worth the effort/expense. Crunchy on the outside, deliciously chewy almond inside.

The paste needs to be cut up with a knife in smaller pieces, before putting it in a food processor, as it is thick and will bog down the processor.

Free ship took 4 days from order date. Packaged well.

The paste is obviously expensive, but is also very tasty. Great stuff.
