Make checkerboard cakes, and eat them too!

I have been slightly besotted with checkerboard cakes in the past couple of weeks. 

Although doing it the hard way is definitely an option like Sunita and Ria have tried but I'd rather waste money buy one of these cute little pans and try them (because shopping for bakeware is as much fun as the actual baking part!)
