The only request for this order was chocolate cake filled with bananas & strawberries, decorated "anyway you want". I used the ribbon for the pattern, fondant flowers and bow, royal icing letters painted with luster dust.
Hip cake. When you fill with fruit, do you mix them with gel, or just slice them into center? Did/do you dip the bananas in lemon? This cake is great! Just wondering about the fruit, I've never tried it, but sounds yummy!
I'm still experimenting with the fresh fruit. For this one I used it fresh cut with buttercream below and above it. I think the flavor would be much better with a custard instead. The bananas only turned a little brown for the pieces that were exposed before the rest of the cake was cut so I might try coating them next time. Thanks for the nice comments.
