I don't know where you can buy it. But here's 2 recepies for almond paste which you can use instead of marzipan. The flavour and texture is very similar recipe 1 170g icing sugar 170g caster sugar 340g ground almonds 225g glucose syrup recipe 2 225g icing sugar 225g caster sugar 445g ground almonds 6 egg yolks method 1 carefully sieve icing sugar twice. 2 Place dry ingrediants into a mixing bowl and stir together. 3 for recepie 1 warm the glucose syrup in a seperate bowl in hot water. 4 Pour the warm glucose syrup or egg yolks into the dry ingrediants 5 mix together using a hook shaped beater until a pliable paste is formed Add more glucose or egg yolks if necessary 6 Store in a sealed food-approved polythene bag with the date is was made until required

Hi jcheng and Michelle, Marzipan can be purchased in almost any supermarket in the United States. It can be found (usually) on the aisle where they carry the baking ingredients. One brand I know of that comes in a tube is made by Odense. They also make an Almond Paste in a tube which is usually found right next to the Marzipan. Both products are boxed and weigh 7 oz. I am quite sure. Michelle, thank you for the Almond Paste recipe. Hope this information helps. Sincerely, Diana Diana's Desserts

Hi, Diana, this is the first time I am posting on this site. I didn't realized I had registered so long ago. Another brand, which I prefer is Solo Almond Paste and Marzipan. They come in 8 oz. cans, which most recipes do call for 8 oz. not 7 oz. like Odense. When you use the 7 oz. tube in place of the 8 oz. can you do lose a bit of the flavor. The Solo Almond Paste and Marzipan is usually found the aisle with the pie fillings. Here is Solo's website, they also have lots of fillings which are in the grocery stores. http://www.solofoods.com Always Have Fun Baking Carol Cugliani This message was edited by carol on 9-8-04 @ 11:15 AM
