"Marzipan is a smooth almond candy used to make candy centers, form figurines, and cover cakes. This is a great all-purpose marzipan recipe that comes together quickly and requires just three ingredients. I like it because it has a lovely smooth texture and light almond taste. If you want to boost the almond flavor, add 1/2-1 tsp of almond extract to taste. A note on ingredients: you can buy the almond paste, or use this almond paste recipe to make your own. If the raw egg whites are a concern, use pasteurized egg whites instead...."
