Thanks for posting the recipe! I thought I had it saved in my PC recipes, but didn't!
BTW- this works out PERFECTLY in the rectangle Chillzanne. I just take the insert out and make it right in the bottom. Then, you have a lid that won't smash your cake!
My DSS asked for this for his last two birthday cakes!
