In big old bakery-land, it's common to set up your layers with jam or frosting, place parchment on top, wrap with plastic, and refrigerate with several baking sheets stacked on top to compress and firm up the cake overnight. This has the effect of making the cake less crummy (literally) when you go to slice it into dipping-size bits. Just sayin'. Susan
Thank you for your great idea, Susan! ~Amy
