Marzipan Easter Eggs
Marzipan Easter Eggs

Marzipan holds a special place in my heart. I grew up with this delight that was pressed into rubber molds, air dried and served to us every Christmas. Because of it’s popularity, it’s also made into egg shapes at Easter time and decorated with royal icing. Wouldn’t it be cool for you to personalize your own Easter egg?
