Mix powdered sugar, whipping cream and eggs in large bowl with

Heat oven to 375º. Break almond paste into small pieces in medium

Beat on high speed until fluffy (tiny bits of almond paste will remain).

over circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges, beginning at rounded
edge. Place on ungreased cookie sheet with points underneath. Repeat

minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
Cool completely.
Drizzle with Glaze.
