I have usually made my own marzipan but I was wondering can you flavour readymade marzipan?
The flavours I want to use are lemon, orange and chocolate. Any help would be great.

lemon and orange oil are the 2 most common flavors in stores, they're strong.
We used to make marzipan mini fruits but never flavored them, just coloring.
Choc will tend to make it dry and crumbly, cocoa is what I'd do and add some moisture or plasticize with corn syrup or even a few drops of water.

Thank you, I will give it a try. Especially the lemon and orange oil, I’ll try that for the mini fruits.

Yes, you can flavor readymade marzipan! knead in some lemon zest and a few drops of lemon extract or juice. For orange, use orange zest and a few drops of orange extract or juice. For chocolate, mix in some cocoa powder or melted chocolate. Be careful with the amount of liquid to avoid making the marzipan too sticky. Adding a bit of food coloring can also enhance the appearance.
