Marzipan

A favorite for desserts and cake decorating, marzipan is a tasty, nutty treat that you can easily make at home. It's made with just three ingredients found at the grocery store: almond paste, confectioners' sugar, and light corn syrup. (Four ingredients if you count the vegetable shortening you'll use to coat your hands so the marizpan doesn't stick to them.) No special tools or equipment are required, all you need is a mixing bowl and your hands.
