The legend of the marzipans began in Tallinn, Estonia, in the 15th century. A councilman was unwell and the head pharmacist’s apprentice, Mart, was asked to make a medicine. Since he had to consume it before administering it to the royalty, Mart decided to make the medicine tasty by adding almonds and sugar. The councilman loved it and called it Mart’s Bread, which soon found its way into towns across Europe. Over time, it came to be known as marzipan.
