Yes...Almond paste plus lots and lots of icing sugar equals marzipan

Both Almond Paste and Marzipan have the same ingredients;
almonds, sugar and glucose.

Marzipan is milled to a smoother consistency, and has more
sugar. Because of this, Marzipan is more pliable. This allows for
easier rolling out and modeling.

Almond Pastes higher almond content gives it a stronger flavor.
