SC - Marzipan

[Elaine Koogler]

Probably the fastest and easiest thing to do with it is to use it like playdoh
and model things with it.  Also, it can be used as part of a cake-like
desert...I did one for an Elizabethan feast last Spring...I think I found the
recipe either in Dining with William Shakespeare or 10,000 Years of British
Cooking.  If I can find it, I'll post it.

One thing:  I found that my hands kept getting sticky when working with it.
What I found works really well to stop this is to dip your hands into orange
juice when they start getting sticky.
