Melissa, here's a pic of the Marzipan Rum Torte

Here is the cut pic...

Had a few cakes and tortes in my time, but this one? Oh my!!! This is a keeper!!!

PS: I don't think the pix truly capture how BIG this cake is. This pile was almost a foot tall. It was supposed to be big, medium, and small layers like a wedding cake, but we didn't want to do that. This is a 9"inch wide X12" tall version. It's biblical in proportions.

I think a happy compromise would be to move to 10" inch pans.

But this cake left everyone's chins dragging the floor.

Mission accomplished, and once again, THANKS Melissa for steering me to this!!!

Holee cow!!!! What a stunner! Could someone point me to the recipe?

I don't know if I'd every have the occasion to make it, but I want that in my recipe file!

 
I read the recipe but don't understand. Is marzipan a layer between the 3 cakes? It says to cover.

I'm trying to envision the texture. Is it a bit chewy?
