Barrett’s 5th Birthday

Do you ever have grandiose plans…and then when the moment comes–they shrink? Well, that is this cake! Originally Barrett wanted a Shrek cake (or rather, mom wanted to make him a Shrek cake) but as the time I was supposed to be working on this awesome cake was ticking away…I was out enjoying my family. So come Monday morning, the birthday, and I didn’t even have a cake out of the oven!! So single tier…smaller cake…piped on top cake came into existence. Barrett is going as a Ghostbuster for Halloween this year–and I thought it would be fun (mostly easy) to just pipe him the Ghostbuster logo. And ya know what??? He LOVED it more than he ever would have the big, grandiose Shrek cake (which I will make at a later date!!)

Having heard a lot about the combination, this is a banana cake with a peanut butter cream filling. My family members enjoyed it. I wanted more banana and less peanut butter!! But it was a hit with everyone else, especially the birthday boy!
