I've always like red hair, but our family lacks those genes. I love marzipan - wouldn't be Christmas without it. My parents would always bring some home when they went to Germany, but now it is more available in N.America so can get it ourselves (though sometimes takes a little store-hopping to find it). Us kids would take the plain marzipan, roll it into small balls, then shake it up with cocoa powder, to mimic the marzipan balls that we remembered having the one time us kids went to Germany. That white thick icing that is on some of the rectangular fruitcakes is often marzipan icing.
