I wonder if you couldn't just leave the layers whole and cut down somehow on the amount of filling/frosting. I don't know; it's just an idea. I love the idea of splitting layers but have never had the nerve to try it, either. If anyone has found a good technique for splitting, please pass it on!

I can't get the nerve up to try to split layers. My mom has made this cake and it is good.

Don't have heart pans; well only one. Splitting layers has never been easy for me.
