Sticky?  Did you weigh the ground almond paste?  You have to add the same
amount of (weighed) powdered sugar.  Then if it is too stiff add a few drops
of rose water.  If yours is sticky try adding some more powdered sugar to a
bit of it and see how it improves.  I should be fairly stiff to hold it's
shape.  Stiffer for some shapes.

Don't go there 'Lainie....
