 Almond paste is not the same as marzipan and differs from it in a few important ways. Almond paste has more almonds than sugar so is less sweet than marzipan. Almond paste has a coarser texture but is much smoother than marzipan, allowing almond paste to be used in baking. Almond paste can be used to make almond cookies and cakes, as well as marzipan, and is a great addition for those looking for a nutty, sweet, almond flavor treat.
