I am planning on a banana cake with almond buttercream frosting for my father-in-law's 70th birthday party. I would like to use a filling other than the buttercream. Any ideas? Thanks.

www.ladycakes.com has amazing filling recipes. I found these ones that would go well:

how about a chocolate ganache and strawberries. You could make it like a banana spit.

julz71...that sounds YUMMY!!!!

How about cream cheese pecan?

Thanks for the great ideas! I was stumped. This forum is great!

A French Custard might be nice. It's pretty much pastry cream with whipped cream folded in. People around here love it.

I agree with the french custard.... however they all sound yummy.
