I'm the only one who likes marzipan.
It is mainly royal icing.
And yes, she is a very special wife & mother.

A Laurel bush of some kind, leaves look too thick and shiny to be a Bay. Can be cut down and composted, but not burned as the fumes from Laurels are toxic.

It does form a good dense barrier plant – often used by default by municipals for boundary and screening hedging. But it's toxic and poisonous to life.
Care needs to be taken when handling prunings, chippings, leaves and berries. The leaves and berries contain cyanolipids which can release cyanide and benzaldehyde. An almond smell is often associated with it. Never burn Laurel prunings as the smoke fumes are toxic.
This may explain why you don't see much wildlife in it.
Never confuse the leaves with Bay or Myrtle.
