Almond paste is a paste made from almonds and sugar with traces of beaten eggs, corn syrup, and heavy cream.
It depends on what you are using it for. If you are making your own almond paste just substitute rose water for the almond extract.
No,you can not because it would ruin the entire dish if you are trying to make almond paste with almond butter.
Marzipan can be used as a substitute for almond paste in your recipe.
Almond paste can be purchased at most grocery stores, specialty baking shops, or online retailers.
You can buy almond paste in nearly every chain grocery store in Washington State. Look for it with the baking products.

Well honey, 8 ounces of canned almond paste is equal to 1 cup. So if you're whipping up a recipe and need to measure out that delicious paste, just grab a trusty measuring cup and you're good to go. Happy baking, darling!
If the almond paste is already dried out, try breaking it up into small pieces and adding to a cookie recipe instead of the nuts you might put in.
marzipan
It is made of sugar and almond paste.
No. Almond Paste is a very thick paste made of almonds, sugar and some almond extract. Almond Filling is looser, more like cake frosting/filling. If you substitute, you'll not get the same results. There is more sugar in Filling, too, about 25% more and it will over-sweeten your recipes. Spend the extra money on something you'll probably only make once a year, like Christmas cookies. Recipes are pretty exacting, and replacing paste with filling will lead to a baking disaster.
Any other kind of nut could replace an almond.
