cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes & turn them out on the rack to cool
completely. In a bowl beat together 2 egg yolks & 1/4 cup sugar until

sprinkle it lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, & wrap it in
wax paper. Chill the marzipan for 1 hour. Sprinkle a 16-inch piece of
wax paper with sifted confectioners' sugar & put the marzipan ball on
it. Top the ball with another piece of wax paper & roll it out into a

paper side up, on the cake, & peel off the paper. Press the marzipan
against the sides of the cake & trim off any excess around the
bottom. Dust the top of the torte with sifted confectioners' sugar.
