Wonderful and simple! It saved me $10.00 for a measly 7 oz. tube of almond paste. I would add a teaspoon or two of almond extract though for a more robust flavor.

Bergy, thanks so much for posting this. I wanted to make Bev's Chocolate-Glazed Coconut-Almond Cake #19190 and I couldn't find Almond paste in any of the stores near me. I made this for use in the cake and it worked just great!
