marzipan
Sweet nut dough
Marzipan is a sweet confection made from ground almonds and sugar, often bound with egg whites into a smooth, pliable paste.
It can be eaten as candy, rolled into sheets to cover cakes, or molded into decorative shapes—fruits and animals are traditional.
The texture is dense and slightly grainy, the flavor distinctly almond.
The wedding cake was covered in marzipan.
