    Sorry to partake in the derailing of the thread I started, Almond, but what the f*ck is marzipan?!?!?

    Also, do you guys say it "AWL-mond" or "AL-mond?"

    Marzipan is a paste made from almonds and sugar. It is used in desserts and sweets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzipan
    I say AWL-mond, pronouncing every letter in the word.
    Thanks for the thread, Herm. Shucks, I didn't realize very many of you even knew who I was.

    No problem, Almond! You deserve all the praise!

    Yes, you can cover a cake in a layer of marzipan, but that's expensive since nuts are generally pricey.
    The smooth cakes you see on Cake Boss and Ace of Cakes are usually covered in fondant which is like play-doh made from sugar. It looks the same, but the flavor and texture are different. Fondant is easier to make, is cheaper, and is easier to shape and color.

    This motherfucker trying to get some internet ass.

    B/W

    I really thought this was about almonds, which I love. Almonds and coconuts. But mostly almonds.

    Edit- disclaimer. Sorry, no disrespect intended towards you, comrade Almond.

    I have had a serious addiction to Raisin/Almond handfuls for many years.

    Sayin' though! I've started plenty appreciation threads, some way more gushing than this. Granted, they were for dudes but still....trippin' over appreciation for a female poster and regarding it as "hollering" says more about you then it does me!

    I love plain almonds; I can eat them by the handful.

    I hate the seasoned ones.

    I hate marzipan.
