The first time I tried this, it turned out great! One trick that is helpful: spray the inserts with no-stick cooking spray each time before pouring the batter - it helps a lot. My squares weren't as perfect as they are in the photo, but it still works great.
You can also have lots of fun with white cake mix and food coloring. I did a yellow and blue checkerboard cake that turned out great.

The pans I ordered where exactly what I wanted and worked well for making a stacked birthday cake.When baking place a pan of water in the oven and the cakes come out perfectly flat and moist, with out crackes and you are ready to frost!
