PEANUT BUTTER BANANA CAKE WITH WHIPPED GANACHE

If you haven’t noticed I’ve really gotten into cake decorating lately. I think it is actually one of my hidden passions that I’ve really gotten into the past year. Actually it spans longer than this past year, but I’ve really tapped into some fun flavors recently.

I’ve been making specialty decorated cakes for my kids birthdays for many years now, but that’s about as far as my decorating experience has gone. But I am seriously addicted to cake so I figured I’d give it more of a go and play around with some fun stuff and I’ve been happy with some of the results!

If you haven’t caught some of my cakes in the past, you can find a variety of flavors if you just search cake. Or you can find Pumpkin Spice, Chocolate Raspberry and Lemon Poppyseed if you want a fast way to find them, just click on the names where they appear a different color.
