[Sca-cooks] marzipan advice

[elisabetta at klotz.org]

I am making a sutlity (ok, I can't spell that word) for EK 12th Night. The
current idea is to do a hunting scene with marzipan and cake.

I have worked with store bought marzipan, but have never made my own, 
which I am
assuming is cheaper.

So I have many questions:

Is it cheaper to make marizipan and how do you do it? Can you buy commercial
marizpan at bulk? Is there something else I can substitute for marizpan 
that is
period (sigh, no chocolate clay)? How long does marizpan last in and or out of
the fridge? Any volunteers to help?

Thanks!-
