A Little History Of Marzipan

The invention of a paste made of sugar and almonds is credited to Persia, Hungary, Italy, and Germany, although the origins remain unknown.

Hungary and Italy disagree on its origin, despite the fact that it is thought to have been brought to Eastern Europe by Turks.

The name’s origins are even stranger; possibilities include a city in Burma, a general, and the “bread of March.” But regardless of where it originated, marzipan is frequently used to decorate Christmas cakes.
