Okay, just decided last minute to make my hubby a father's day cake. Nothing elaborate, just simple, but tasty. He LOVES chocolate covered banana slices, so I will make some of those and maybe put on top, or just have those on the side. He also really likes chocolate icing. I'm picture some sort of torted cake w/ chocolate bc icing and yellow roses, writing and border.....not real sure yet though. ANY ideas will be greatly appreciated, and a recipe for a banana filling would be great too. Found one on here, but really don't want to drag 3 kids (ages 6 and under) to the liquor store for rum. Still not sure on what flavor cake to do either. Thanks in advance!
Ooooh, *BUMP*! I need to know this, too, for my son's second birthday in September. Thanks for the post!
Buttercream made with real cream as well as banana lorann oil would work, or maybe a cream cheese icing flavored with the oil?
Lorann also has a butter rum oil as well, bet they would taste good together. Hey-couldn't they be added to a stabilized whipped cream to make an even lighter filling? YUM!
Hey, prettytoya- where can I find these oils of which you speak? I'm doing a "monkeys go bananas" theme for his birthday, and I'm trying not to do toooo much banana, but enough to repeat the theme. Maybe I could do the fluffy filling you're talking about, with Chocolate cake??? I don't know?!? Thanks!
The stabilized whipped cream icing can be found on the Wilton website. The oils can be ordered at www.lorannoils.com. You may be able to find them at a cake supply store in your area. The one here carries all of the flavors they have listed on the website. A few drops goes a long way, and they have a LOT of flavors to choose from. Hope this helps!
Here are three different fillings I found at ladycakes.com. There is banana cream, banana custard, and banana pudding fillings, hth.

I've used a banana pudding mix with less milk to fill a cake before and it got rave reviews. the cake was also flavored with the pudding mix. I think I put 1/4 cup less milk.
HTH,
