I've also discovered I can order my favourite marzipan online, all year round. And they do a marzipan liqueur, too...

marzipan with liqueur inside (bleargh) or liqueur flavoured with marzipan (i'm intrigued) ?

that's frangipane. i suppose technically it's the same thing, but marzipan is usually covered in chocolate and only available at christmas. whereas frangipane is, as any baker worth their salt knows, an essential ingredient in pear tartes (and pies), and must therefore be available all year round.
