Oh I almost forgot to mention that using one cake mix, it is very tricky to get three layers with the right amount of batter. It probably won't be quite as tall and magnificent as the cake in the picture. ;P

Worked very well! I was trying to make a checkerboard cake for my grandparents' anniversary, and the first recipe I tried ended up a crumbly disaster. So I frantically turned to this one, and I must say it worked very wonderfully! The flavor wasn't anything over the top, but it was still good nonetheless.

P.S. I made a mistake. Mea culpa... The recipe is right. You divede the flavors in half. There are two rings in each cake pan. You put chocolate,white, chocolate, then alternate. You take the rings out, carefully, before you bake the cake. This is not a new cake. It has been in existence for at least 60 years, if not longer. It is not new.

The cake is chocolate and white, with yellow icing, piped with white icing. The pansy on the top, seems to be a fresh flower. I have no idea why anyone would want to put purple coloring on this cake. It looks very pretty as is. I have two checkerboard cake pan sets; both a round and a square set. The only thing that I can see wrong with this recipe, is that it calls for making one half chocolate and one half white. You need to make it two thirds of one flavor (your choice) and one third the other. Then you alternate them, i.e., chocolate, white, chocolate, or white, chocolate, white. That is how you get the checkerboard appearance. Wilton probably still carries these pans. I hope that this helps.

so the picture doesn't match with the description given. I want to know what type of frosting is being used in the picture and how do you get the purple. Also, what do the divider pans look like and where can you find them?
