@Bommom Thanks for sharing that link with us! I always assumed people meant the cake resembled the outside of an opera house, which led to my confusion. But knowing the resemblance is related to the interior makes much more sense!

@Bommom THANKS for the link! I'm abroad for a few days but once I'm back home I'll use it to solve this lifelong riddle 😁👍!

Oh, yes, I can see the similarity. Maybe this link will help you see the resemblance. :-)

I love opera cakes; they are delicious and pretty easy to prepare - except for the thin and shiny cover. But why a layered cake should resemble an opera stage I'll never know. Thanks for this treat!

Yummy :-)

Thanks for that description, all the way down to the derivation of the dessert's name. I'll have to give it a try someday. ~Gayle
