Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index.

fondant

Marzipan provides a similar texture with less sweetness.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

Grind the almonds with a grinder or food processor until fine.

In a bowl, mix the grinded almonds with custard sugar until well combined.

Add 2 egg whites and mix well; use hands if necessary as the mixture becomes stretchy and sticky.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Once the dough is cold, roll it into finger-thick pieces.

Use cleansy kakei molds or draw circles on paper to guide the size of the rings.

Shape the dough into rings and connect the ends.

Refrigerate the rings for at least 15 minutes to harden.

Bake the rings in the oven at 200°C for 8 to 10 minutes on the middle shelf.

Let the rings cool completely after baking.

Make icing by mixing egg white and custard sugar; refrigerate for 20 minutes to harden.

Pipe the icing onto the cooled rings in wavy strings.

Assemble the rings to create a tower, using the icing to stick them together.

Decorate the tower with flags, ribbons, or other desired decorations.
