Recipe Notes

• In this recipe I used 7 oz Almond paste pack from Odense (I bought 2 of those) and 14 oz puff pastry sheet from Dufour.
• If you buy puff pastry in 17.3 oz pack from Pepperidge Farm with 2 sheets inside, I recommend either to use just 1 puff pastry sheet and reduce the amount of Almond Paste to 7 or 8 oz per sheet, or use both puff pastry sheets and increase the amount of Almond Paste to 14 oz.
