I have!!! I really like it! I used it for a couple of shows and the guests really liked it. I have since purchased the rice cooker and the only real difference to me is the shape. The batter bowl is more rounded, bee-hive shaped and the rice cooker is flat across. Really pretty with the chocolate cake! Give it a try!
