Thank you everyone for the replies. To JanH, thanks for the explaination regarding a bundt cake, as I never knew that was the difference.

Was thinking of making a lemon poppy seed cake for Easter. Just a few questions I would like to put out there.Anyone have experience soaking the seeds over night vs not soaking them?Also, many of the recipes out there use bundt cake...

Thank you MBHazel. I think I will try the melts at some time.

Somewhere I read that you also put one dowel all the way through the entire cake if the cake is tall and to be transported. The dowel was sharp, so that it could go through the cardboard layers.
