The LAST sentence where it says to cut 1/3 off each side... please read and tell me if you understand what they're saying. :(
If the Marzipan only covers the top of the cake, I don't understand what I'm exposing on the side?
Knead marzipan and 2 drops green coloring in large bowl until color is evenly distributed. Dust work surface with powdered sugar. Roll out marzipan on sugar to 12-inch-diameter circle, sprinkling with powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Spread reserved 1/2 cup buttercream over top of cake. Using rolling pin as aid, drape marzipan over top of cake. Press gently to adhere. Trim marzipan flush with top of cake; reserve trimmings. Brush excess powdered sugar off marzipan. Using long sharp knife, cut 1/3 inch off each side of dessert to expose strawberries

apparently the marzipan covers a strawberry topping. If I am assuming correctly then the recipe makes some sense tome. It actually states 1/3 inch rather than 1/3 off the side. 1/3 inch is equal to about 3/8 inch and would reveal the strawberries underneath and provide a nice decorative touch.

You are going to expose something that's inside the cake, that's what it sounds like. Good luck!

cutting the extra off the side of the pan? I'm guessing.
