I was so anxious to make this cake - so I made in over the Labor day week-end. This is a very delicious cake and filling. I did have a problem - and it was a BIG problem. I put the cake in my covered cake carrier. When my son decided the next morning that he wanted to have a piece for his breakfast, I took off the cover. Well, there was the top 3 layers about 2 inchs over the bottom layer. So, I pushed the top layers back where they were suppose to be. This just kept getting worse and worse. I finally took tooth picks and pushed them down into the cake to try and hold it in place. But that would not work either. I finally had the cake layers all together with a pile of filling on the plate beside the cake. This is really a delicious cake, but there was no way that I could keep the top layers from sliding off of the bottom layer. We finally had to cut a piece of cake and put the filling on top of the cake. It was a big mess!!! Hi Pat - Next time try doing what I suggested: stick 4-5 long bamboo skewers right down through the top of the cake to the plate. That should anchor the layers. Also, you night try refrigerating it, to keep it more solid. At least it was tasty, right? :) PJH
