This is a ground form to get creative with. It's based on almond paste and it's a luxurious, old fika you only get at special events. They are great for parties with a lot of people.

Bring cupcake forms. Mine was in metal so I had to butter them. I really recommend you to use paper forms as they are much easier to remove after baking.

Put a bit of the dough into a cupcake form and press it against the walls and bottom depending how deep you want the forms to be. It should not be pressed as deep as the cupcake paper can be seen.

Place them all on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for 8-10 minutes. When they are done they should look more golden.

Done + Extra

When they are done place the whole baking sheet aside for them to cool down a bit.

Remove the cupcake paper forms and they are ready to use.

I put strawberry jam, whipped cream and blueberries and they turned out excellent. You can use different toppings as well. Melted chocolate for example.

And there you have it, good luck!
