   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.
