It’s no secret that I looooove the flavor pastes from Pastry Portal. The product is simply amazing and offers fresh, real flavors that you cannot get from an extract or flavoring. And I must say that of all of the amazing flavors that I have tried, the Viennese Almond Paste is my favorite! In fact, my mouth was watering as I was taking these pictures because the smell is so profound it was filling the room. And, because I want you to experience the incredibleness too, Ayi from Pastry Portal and I have teamed up to give away a jar of this paste that will keep you in a happy place for a very long time!
This paste is fabulous in a cake batter or buttercream or filling of your choice. It is thick and highly aromatic as well as shelf and bake stable. I used this Viennese Almond Flavor Paste in my Mocha Almond Fudge Cake and it was divine!
I wish you the best of luck in entering this giveaway for this awesome product! And if you don’t win you can always head on over to Pastry Portal and have one sent to you 🙂
Happy Baking!

I’ve been dying to try some of their pastes (along with their chocolate & ifigourmet fondant)!
I just read your new recipe yesterday so I’d probably start there, then I’d probably try some other flavor combos, BC, ganache, macarons…
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I love your blog & appreciate learning about the science behind baking!
Thanks Sharon! Good luck!
This sounds amazing!
The paste sounds awesome. I really need to try it. Your recipes are great and I love the science behind them.
I would love to try on my cakes, fillings or even on my family sunday special ( banana/vanilla croissant) good luck to all xxx
I would love to try your mocha almond fudge cake with this in it
I love almond and wish I had the resources to buy ALL the pastes from Pastry Portal! I think I’d have to make some tasty almond cupcakes if I had this paste!
This sounds awesome!! Do you know if this product could be used in cookies? I’m going to head over to the website to check it out. Thanks for the heads up!!
It would be amazing in cookies! 🙂
Am getting ready to do the Grooms cake and wedding cake for you youngest and would love to use this in the recipe I have picked out! The groom is Italian so only the best of ingredients for that family!
I’ve just been experimenting with mini blackberry Bakewell tarts and felt they needed more of an almond kick. This sounds like it may be my answer.
I love your blog and thank you for letting me know about Pastry Portal. I’ve just moved back to America from Ireland and was surprised at how many staples I couldn’t find in the supermarket. Pastry Portal seems to carry a lot of them though!
Sounds like it would add amazing flavor to almost any sweet or savory treat.
I have been wanting to make that Mocha Almond Fudge cake..like yesterday..this win would be perfect
I’ve been wanting to make your Mocha Almond Fudge cake since your post!
Thank you for the opportunity and information. As a hobby baker, I haven’t tried many of the items that are showcased, and probably would never even know of them without the blogs and giveaways. It is so kind of you to provide this opportunity to us. Congratulations to the winner! I am sure you will have a wonderful baking experience, and your kitchen will smell awesome with the fragrances. Blessings!
I’d love to give this product a try!
I have looked at the Pastry Portal per your recommendations (especially the strawberry paste) but haven’t been able to commit to the price. The almond paste would give me a good “taste” and perhaps convince me to take the plunge. Your mocha almond cake keeps haunting my dreams. Winning could take me from dream to reality. Thank you for the opportunity!
You’ve mentioned how much you love their products, can’t wait to try them.
I’ve really wanted to try one of Pastry Portal’s flavor pastes and hope that I win!!
I’m a huge fan of yours and of Pastry Portal! Thanks for teaming up 🙂
Been using products like this for a while. People need to try it.
Would love to have some of this Viennese almond paste, it sounds incredible!!
looks like a fabulous product, would love to be able to try it
Nothing BEATS Pastry Portal flavors but MY favorite is hands down the “tiramisu” oh lord it should be outlawed!!!! 😉
I’ve purchased a few of their flavors and they are divine! Such a wonderful flavor and it makes it fun to try different flavors that you may not normally try. The one I probably won’t try again,though, is passion fruit. My family didn’t seem to care very much for that one, but I’m anxious to definitely try others!
I would love to use this in your Mocha Almond Cake recipe and in the filling for Almond Croissants. Thank you for the chance!
You’re very generous to give this away! I would love to try this in some of my baked goods! Good luck everyone!
Sounds great. Would love to try it in your mocha almond cake
I’ve never tried any of the pastry portal pastes but you have me intrigued. I would love to use this in my baking. I’m always looking not only for different flavors not only for cakes but for my fillings & buttercream. This sounds perfect.
Sounds wonderful. I can see it mixed with other fillings, and being yummy! A concentrated almond flavor!
I really like to tried and my butter cream.

Almond is my favorite flavor for my baked goods. When going through the time to make a brioche or croissant or any other time intensive dough, why not use the best flavoring products and the products at Pastry Portal simply, ARE the best!
Looks delicious!
My mouth needs to taste it!! Sounds yummy and I’d love to try!
I’ve heard soo many good things about these pastes! If I won, I’d Definitely try it in my fav. Vanilla cake recipe that calls for almond but I usually omit, because my kids don’t like the extract in it. I would almond that sucker up with the paste to experiment on them! haha Thanks for the chance to win. 🙂
