Marzipan


Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and almond meal. Persipan is a similar, yet less expensive product, in which the almonds are replaced by apricot or peach kernels. Many confectionery products sold as marzipan are made from less expensive materials, such as soy paste and almond essence. German marzipan is made by grinding whole almonds with sugar and partially drying the paste, and French marzipan is made by combining ground almonds with sugar syrup. Some marzipan is flavored with rosewater. Spanish marzipan is made without bitter almonds.

Ice flows are the structure of ice which from on single-layer glass windows during frost. Warm humid air on one side of the window pane will cool and sublimate ice crystals, the sublimation process goes slow,and the resulting ice structures can be very beautiful. Any scratch or other inconsistency in the glass surface will be a nucleation source for ice growth. The ice flowers can even show invisible cleaning marks on the glass by their oriented growth pattern.
