Thanks, Cindy. If the egg whites are raw I wouldn't like it either but I love almond flavoring. Thanks for looking it up.

I looked it up on Google to be somewhat accurate. All I really knew is that it had an almond flavor and that I don't like it (smile). Apparently, from my research, it's also used in frostings and decorating cakes and perhaps in fillings. Cindy --- siss52 <siss52@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > There is a candy called Marzipan.
