A fun and easy way to make a special cake. I made this for my daughter''s 9th birthday and she loved it. A few tips-make sure the batter is even in the pan without any mounds to make a flatter top. Even with using 8" square and round pans, the round one seemed a bit larger, but I just pressed them all closer and they fit together nicely. Frosting can hide any spaces. Have fun! Thanks
