I love the recipe, it is very easy to make. I have a question Do I need to keep the cake in the refrigerator until time to serve? I had a problem last time, I made the cake and traveled by car with it for an hour and half on the next day.

This was fun to make. It ook a little concentration to get the lady fingers to stay upright. I used the inch I cut off the bottom to push the rest back against the pan and keep them in place. A little seepage of filling, but the presentation was lovely. It was delicious and a big hit with my guests. I'll be making this again.

I had the same problem as another person, the filling seeped through the lady fingers and ruined the presentation. I had to scurry around to find something else to make for a Christmas party.

Too difficult to keep the ladyfingers in place and the filling seeped out so the presentation wasn't what I expected. It was enjoyed by all... but I won't make it again.
