Remove weights and foil. Spread a thin layer of frosting
against the 3-1/2-inch side of one of the stacks, and join
stacks to make a triangle. Carefully transfer cake to
serving platter using wide spatulas. Spread remaining
frosting over the cake. Arrange crystallized violets down
sides and peak of cake, if desired. Slice with an electric
knife. Yield: 12 to 15 servings.

NOTE: The slicing technique for Chocolate Triangle Cake is
tricky but we think you'll be proud of the end result. Two
layers are stacked on top of each other; then they're
sliced into seven strips of varied widths. The strips are
frosted and stacked by graduated sized into two halves of a
triangle. The stacks are weighted down to compress the
layers and make them adhere; then they're joined into a
triangle and frosted. A garnish of crystallized violets
finishes the cake beautifully.
