Preheat the oven (temperature not specified).

Prepare the marzipan by mixing 500 grams of almond flour, 500 grams of powdered sugar, 4 egg whites, and 1 teaspoon of almond extract in a bowl until combined.

Chill the marzipan mixture overnight.

Spray the kranzikake forms with baking spray and sprinkle semolina flour on each ring.

Divide the marzipan into pieces, starting with a 17-gram piece for the smallest ring, increasing each subsequent piece by 5 grams until you have 18 pieces total.

Roll each piece into a ring, ensuring the ends touch to form a circle.

Use a fondant smoother to make the rings nice and even if desired.

Bake the rings (baking time and temperature not specified).

Ice each ring together and decorate as desired with royal icing and sprinkles.
