SC - OOP chocolate zero cake

[grasse at mscd.edu]

Most noble Mirhaxa, 

I do not have the cake recipe with me (on-line at work) I will (if 
requested) find the actual cake recipe and exact proportions.  The short 
form is:

a cake (chocolate, ground nuts, flour, sugar, butter, eggs... I think) in 
two layers
between the layers and also covering the entire cake:

Apricot Jam - melted and brushed all over (except the bottom ;-)  use this 
to "glue" on
Marzipan - rolled out to about 1/8" thickness (don't forget to put a sheet 
between the layers)
cover the whole thing with the best bittersweet chocolate you can get!.
Let it set up where the kids, roomies, and pets can not get to it. 
Decorate with whatever you like (purchased stuff works fine, as do homemade 
truffles, marzipan shapes,....  For my fathers latest birthday I used 
marzipan brushed with powdered edible gold to make the numbers.  )

At dads suggestion I made this for my own most recent birthday too (OK, I 
cheated, not a 0, but I wanted to WOW them), and transported it from Denver 
to Berlin.  It arrived without a crack or blemish. <GRIN>... I have a 
picture somewhere.  Will post unless y'all think it too tempting?
