I have been looking at recipes for making my son a birthday cake and keep running across marzipan, but none of the recipes have a recipe for that.

Marzipan is a very, very sweet candy confection made from almond paste and you may find it in the specialty section of your supermarket. It is usually popular around the holidays.

Marzipan is a thick paste made from almonds.
I know you've found recipes online, but you can also buy marzipan from most supermarkets, usually in the baking section.
Hope this helps.

Marzipan is a paste made with ground almonds and sugar. It is used to be molded into several designs such as fruit or leaves or can be made thinner to ice a cake.
You can either buy it or make it
here is a simple recipe
SHINY IMITATION MARZIPAN
1/3 cup soft butter or margarine 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup white corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups (1 lb.) sifted confectioners sugar 1/2 Lb. almond paste
Add coconut & almond oil and you have an imitation flavoring, scant drop. Blend butter, syrup, salt and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Add sifted sugar all at once. Mix all together. Knead with hands. Turn out on board and continue kneading until mixture is well blended and smooth. Makes about 1 1/3 lbs. Store in cool place. Roll into 1" balls and push into molds. Close molds, open and let fruit drop out.

ground almond paste, its used quite frequently in Europe especially around the holiday times to decorate fruit cakes, it also comes in fruit shapes and they have been dyed to look like the exact replica of the fruit the represent.
by the way marzipan is fantastic.

Believe you me, it is MUCH easier to buy the paste. And it makes a wonderful icing on a cake with any design.
