An excess of marchpane? I think not...

desperanceY'know, just for a moment there, I nearly said something foolish.
I nearly said "I made too much marzipan."
The truth, of course, is that I misjudged the rolling-out, and was too frugal. Too parsimonious. It was a folly.
Every folly has its consequence; I have a lump of residual marzipan, and the cake is fully enrobed. I could of course just add extra to the top of the cake - but I also have espresso coffee beans to dunk - no, I'm sorry, to enrobe - in chocolate. And, y'know. Marzipan and chocolate. Made in heaven, to my order and explicitly for me. I think I shall spend the afternoon making little sweeties. Oh, yes.
The only question remaining: coffee beans-and-chocolate, and marzipan-and-chocolate - or coffee beans-and-marzipan-and-chocolate...?
