Sounds tasty, but I'm confused on the display: is the top cut off and then split? [NT] - MarilynFL - 8:03am on 07/10/15

Yes, Marilyn the top is cut off and split...see the instructions for the filling. [NT] - GayR - 8:10am on 07/10/15

I did read that..but my brain isn't working very well getting up at 4:00 a.m. now. [NT] - MarilynFL - 10:46am on 07/10/15

Very pretty! But I was confused, too...cut out hole for filling, fill, THEN cut off top and split?? [NT] - cheezz - 11:08am on 07/10/15

Me too and I also thought cut out the center to fill. [NT] - orchid - 11:19am on 07/10/15
I'm still confused, I don't understand the directions, perhaps it would make sense if I was doing it [NT] - Curious1 - 2:40pm on 07/11/15

with the thinner ones, you can even flip a pancake if that's all you have for a tool. scrapes a bowl - AngAk1 - 3:07pm on 07/13/15
