wow! that was fast! one thing i did after frosting the cake was place it in the freezer for about an hour. this chilled the cake and frosting very well...since the frosting is fairly warm after being in the food proccessor for five minutes or so.

i wonder if partially freezing the cake would be a better alternative to not dehydrating it as you've done? it may be worth the try...

and thank you for making it!! i'm always wanting feedback - good or bad, so keep me posted! :)
