Next take 1/4 of marzipan mixture and roll out. Cut a circle shape the diameter of the mini cake and place on top. Add the rest of the mixture to each mini cake.

Roll out marzipan to 2mm thickness using a circle cutter place on top of each cake.
Next roll balls of marzipan and arrange 11 on top of each cake. Place under a hot grill or use a blowtorch to heat the marzipan until it is lightly browned.

In keeping with Easter theme I have made a traditional Simnel Cake, but in minature form.
Simnel Cake is an Easter tradition- a spicy fruit cake - which includes marzipan. There are 11 marzipan balls on the top representing the Apostles minus Judas.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
