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.
