Another step on my journey towards diabetes.
I was very excited for Phil to come and stay with us for a couple of days, but even more so when he decided that we should make an over the top cake of death. We toyed with the idea of a chocolate/coffee or chocolate/mint combination, but neither of those would have gone down too well with the other housemates, so we decided on a banana split cake. The mission was to make it as decadent as we could manage without veering too far from the theme, and I think we did ourselves pretty proud! We didn't finish until around 2am last night, so we're yet to try it. I think it'll be our breakfast.
Layer one: chocolate cake, peanut butter frosting, chopped bananas.
Layer two: strawberry jam, vanilla cake, peanut butter frosting...
...and more banana (it's healthy, see?)
Layer three: strawberry jam, chocolate cake, chocolate ganache.
Sprinkles!
Oh hai.
From the top:
There was supposed to be a bag of Dandies incorporated into it as well, but I think we got a bad bag because they were grainy and really dense, so not up to standard. They'll see out their days in a hot chocolate, no doubt.
There will most likely be another cakeshake later on as well. OH THAT'S RIGHT.
