Hate to say it, but I had to look up Marzipan. It does sound good... :santa1:

During all the years I've tried not to eat chocolate, marzipan was able to scratch the itch (as close as anything could), similar to my mother's spiced pumpkin pie. Good stuff. When I wasn't able to find any, a roll of almond paste would be good too. :santahat:
Why do I always feel confused after I come to this thread? lol :xmaswink:
lol Sorry, I meant I never heard of marzipan as a topping for something before JollyElf mentioned her mother did it, and even though it wouldn't be good on the fruitcake, I still want to remember to possibly try and put it on something else. We always ate it by itself. I didn't mean it to sound like I had forgotten that I had just commented on it a few days ago. lol
And while I was thinking about it, I was wondering if fruit cake really needs frosting at all, as I thought it was sweet by itself. But maybe that recipe isn't as sweet?
And in your response to marzipan, I was just deviating from topic, speaking of marzipan in general.
I was multi-tasking and didn't word those posts well- sorry! :gelf:
and the great "Fruitcake Debate" continues... lol This makes it a lot of fun to read. :elf3:
I think I have found heaven with all thesse recipes!
