Here is where you can get this kind of answer:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/94/views#layouts-96
Create two layout templates and put them in the views/layouts
directory. Lets say:
default.ctp
plain_jane.ctp
Now in your controller action function, add the following:
$this->layout = 'default';
or
$this->layout = 'plain_jane';
And either default or plain_jane will be used.
