Place sugar in a bowl with the almonds, add the eggs, lemon juice and the almond essence. Now go and wash your hands very well and wipe them extremly well (very dry). Mix the batter and make a ball with it. Now on a dusting sugar covered place the "ball" and by hand start to knead it until it is soft enough. Now is ready for use.
Can be used on top of cakes and then coming the glace in fine stripes.
