Check a cake/candy making supply store. Or maybe online at Wilton's?

Sounds like the "paper" used with the Italian nougat candy, torrone... I
believe that's called "ostia"... but I think ostia (also called wafer) is
tradionally made from wheat. Perhaps that almond "paper" is actually marzipan.

Here's a place that sells ostia/wafer made from potato starch, go know:

Perhaps this will help:

Hmmmm...well there is the edible paper that some bakeries use to print photos
on and apply to cakes. Here's a site that sells it.

Hadn't heard of almond paper, but edible rice paper is pretty common.
Probably cheaper than almond paper would be.

A friend of mine saw some cooking show where they had some kind of paper
made from almonds - it was therefore edible, and was used as a decoration,
to line gift baskets, etc..

Does anyone here know what this stuff is and how to make it or where to buy
it??

Such things need to be kosher certified, of course.
The inks used with those sheets are made from food colours.
