Marzipan layered cake

My FIL is nuts for Marzipan and has requested a cake with Marzipan for his birthday next month. Anyone know of any local bakeries who do a Marzipan cake?

      Are you referring to kransekage?

        I'm not sure if there are cakes with marzipan in the layers, but the Princess Cake at Victor Bene's bakeries in Gelson's markets has a marzipan layer covering the entire cake. It's a nice spring-green shade, too.
