 WARNING OUTRAGEOUS SHIPPING COST!!! September 19, 2008

Buyers Beware, 1 lb. of Marzipan for $4.99.. Sounds great, right?
What they neglect to tell you is that there is an additional $9 shipping charge!!!!!!
Insane.
If this company *ever* thinks they will get another dime from me, they are sorely mistaken.
I placed my order along with some books, and Amazon does not itemize the shipping charges, only gives you one lump sum for all the items you order... At *no point* does Amazon or the company tell you what the shipping is for this item, unless it is the only item you order, and then only right before the final checkout.
It was only after paying, when I received itemized email invoices that I was informed of the $9 shipping charge.
What an incredibly shortsighted business practice.
1 lb Marzipan, for $16. No thank you.

This was fabulous. I used it as a fill with cherries in a wedding cake. It got rave reviews, and I LOVED it!

I ordered this marzipan last Christmas, amazed by the great deal that I had found.
Unfortunately, the old addage is true: you get what you pay for.
This marzipan is made with corn syrup instead of sugar, so it doesn't have the same texture.
Even more interesting is that I froze the unused marzipan in the same bag with a 'better' variety. Within three months this marzipan had taken on a freezer taste, whereas the higher grade marzipan still tastes great even one year later. They were both in the same bag together, so it can only be the ingredients themselves that didn't hold up.
This may be fine for gourmands, but a more refined palate is going to recognize the difference right away. I am so glad that I didn't buy the ten pound block like I originally intended. It may be suitable where the marzipan doesn't take center stage, but when the marzipan flavor is important pay the extra money for a 60+% almond paste made with sugar.

The items arrived faster than they estimated. I had good email interaction with a sales rep from the creator. The paste itself was superior in quality.
