Ideas for Marzipan Figures
Marzipan is a thick, moldable sweet paste made of ground almonds, egg whites or yolks, and sugar. It is used to create small candies or as part of a cake (between the layers or as icing).You can shape marzipan many ways (such as fruits or vegetables), but if you are willing to spend some time, you can mold figures.
