Greetings! The "Dining With William Shakespeare" has a delicious
cookie base (lots of butter) to put under the marchpane. It isn't
period but it's delicious anyhow. Period sources say "wafers" so I
think pretty much any of the sweet wafers would work (as opposed to
savory ones). If you have a pizzelle maker, try some of those. Does
that help at all? (Now, to me, I don't know _how_ one would make a
large pizzelle if one wanted a marchpane bigger than what comes out of
the pizzelle maker. I suppose you could smoosh a few together - cut
off rounded parts, for example, and add the marzipan on top. You would
probably want to bake the thing on bakers' parchment, which is
mentioned in some period sources.)
