Answer 1

usually you find almond paste in the baking aile in the regular supermarket.

Answer 2

Any major grocery store chain will carry it, in the baking aisle.  Usually near the "add-ins", like chocolate chips, nuts, coconut, etc....

Answer 3

You should be able to find it at your local grocery store... It is also known as Marzipan. (Almond paste & sugar)

If they don't have it, go to a manager and as if it can be special ordered for you. They are usually happy to order something for a customer.

Answer 4

A grocery store in the baking supplies aisle should have your almond paste.  If not there, then ask the grocery staff where to find it.  If you can find a baking supplies specialty store in your area, they should have it also.

Answer 5

Go to www.fondantsource.com and you can order it.

Answer 6

You could always make it...
