Lesson...use enough cream for ganache! I wanted it to have gentle drips. Instead it just wanted to hang around. But chocolate and cream...can I say more?
I dobached (split) the two vanilla layers and used those cream fillings!
Bottom to top: cake, pineapple cream, cake, strawberry cream, cake, banana cream (my fav), cake and ganache. My oh my don't even look at a scale!
Well, let's tip the scale a bit more. Bed of ice-cream and dolop of real whipped cream all topped with a cherry.......Banana Split Cake!!!
Now, while I didn't document my every move, I wanted you to see the strawberries. Can you believe the size? These were berries on steroids.
And the bananas, except there is nothing special about these bananas...but they do make a fine banana cream as shown below. I didn't realize that a cream filling could taste so good.
I used all the pineapple okay. You do know what pineapple looks like, so poof, poof, whala.....pineapple cream.
Didn't want to leave out the whipped cream. I made it for the crepes a couple of days ago and I got a little carried away. Into the cute little jar waiting for today:)
I'll end with a side view of the cherries. It's kinda like a picture of my husband and me after we ate dessert tonight. Leaning a bit to the right...
I must say this sounds absolutely divine! I will have to look into this cream filling , it looks super yummy! Good Job , Keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks April! It is a good combination. I made the little 6 inch layers...that way if I was too tempted, I thought it wouldn't do me in. I need to cut a slice and freeze and thaw...just to see if it will freeze well. My first inclination is no; but will try at least a slice anyway :) Thanks for the encouragement. Are you guys still baking?
ReplyDeleteIt froze and thawed just fine. I was pleasantly surprised!
