Frangipane is just an almond cream you can use in tarts, cakes, pastries, anything sweet really.

French desserts are really easy if you master the basics, and learning how to make a proper frangipane will help you make many desserts or come up with your own, the plus side is that since frangipane is not really common, like pastry cream, people will be impressed and they'll ask you for the recipe.
