oh bugger have I missed kirsty and phil? and why are they doing kids parties?

MumInBeds · 22/11/2010 21:42

Mine adore it - although they've not had any since last Christmas.

TrillianAstra · 22/11/2010 21:42

Why would children not like marzipan?

SuePurblybiltByElves · 22/11/2010 21:53

Because marzipan is evil Trillian. Children are sensible creatures.

AitchTwoOh · 22/11/2010 21:53

I used to get marzipan pigs at Easter from my Norwegian relatives. Nothing I wouldn't do for some marzipan Wink

ooooo that sounds right up my "wish I was poncey but cant be arsed" street, I can sit, nod along as she does something fabulous with tinsel, felt and sellotape then go into the range to get all the materials, which can then sit in my dusty "craft bag"

fwiw, ds loves my stollen. I however, think marzipan is devil semen in disguise.

megapixels · 22/11/2010 22:06

DD1 loves it. DD2 doesn't. I think most children do like marzipan.

SoupDragon · 22/11/2010 22:06

what Fluffles said :o we used to make marzipan fruits at Christmas,. I loved painting the apples and accidentally eating a few...

Jux · 22/11/2010 22:07

Loved it as a child. DD hated it (but likes it now)

PrematureEjoculation · 22/11/2010 22:07

UniS · 22/11/2010 22:08

OH yes, my lad (4) would adore a marzipan penguin, both to look at and covet, AND to eat. He's a huge marzipan fan, I don't remember him NOT liking it.
