Definition of Marzipan
almond paste: a sweet paste made of ground almonds and sugar, often with egg whites or yolks, used as a layer in cakes or molded into ornamental shapes
UPDATE: As one of our readers had written… these are not marzipan babies but miniature clay sculptures… good thing!
oh? that’s what it is! well, they’re too cute to eat.
