Step 1
Place 1 sponge layer on a serving plate and spread 1/4 cup raspberry jam over it, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
Step 2
Spread 1 cup vanilla pudding over the jam, then top with a second sponge layer. Repeat with remaining jam and pudding, then place the third layer on top.
Step 3
Whip 2 cups heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Spread a thick layer over the top and sides of the cake, creating a dome shape.
Step 4
Dust a work surface with remaining powdered sugar and roll out the green marzipan to a 12 inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 5
Drape the marzipan over the cake, smoothing it down the sides. Trim excess at the base. Roll out red fondant and cut a small rose shape, then place it on top.
Step 6
Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the marzipan.
Step 7
Slice and serve chilled.
