I have recently taking a serious liking to coconut after having been ambivalent about it most of my life. I'm looking for the proper indulgence for my upcoming air travel picnic hamper and this will definitely go into the running!

One question though: the reader comment about the bottom's not holding together and hard to get out of the pan. Did that happen to you? Do you think baking the bottom a bit might make it hold up better before adding the fillings?
TIA
