They are intended to be an illusion food, after all.  :-)

I took one as a sample in a plastic baggie to the potter who will be 
making my molds.  When she took the baggie, I was surprised to see 
that she handled it a bit carelessly.  Then it must have squished a little 
under her fingers, because she looked startled and said, "Oh, it's 
marzipan!  I thought you brought me a peach pit to study."

I suspect you're right about the glaze losing details.  The potter is 
making one glazed and one unglazed, so I can tell which will work best.
