Marzipan

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


Every year for our Christmas dinner I buy pastries from Maria's Pastry shop. One of the items I buy is Marzipan fruit. This year I decided to try my hand at it. Not as good as Maria's but a good start. What do you guys think?

Looks to me that Maria has some competition. That lemon & lime looks like you plucked them out of my fruit basket. And the strawberry is crying out to be part of someones "shortcake".

Marzipan treats are always a nice finish to a Holiday meal. Well done!

Those are great! Marzipan is one of my very favorite things! I would love to have a Maria's Pastry Shop or any Italian Bakery nearby.

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is marzipan made from almond paste? I was never sure if you could really eat them. They look too pretty to eat most of the time.

Awesome. That takes patience. I especially like the pea pod.
