The invention of marzipan is usually attributed to Lübeck, Germany. Legend has it that during a 15th-century famine when flour for making bread became scarce, the senate of Lübeck ordered bakers to create a replacement. Using eggs, sugar, and stores of almonds, the clever bakers came up with marzipan.
