Hello, friends! I have a question for all you experts out there!
My son's birthday party is a Monkeys and Bananas theme... I think I might do a chocolate cake, but my question is... Could I fill it with Banana pudding? It's the banana pudding recipe that uses cream cheese and fresh bananas... would that be too rich? I don't think ANYTHING'S too rich (I'm a big-time sweet tooth), but then again, I want people to eat the cake!!! Thanks, in advance, for your help! Blessings! icon_smile.gif

I think the combo sounds good too! Just be sure and put a nice thick damn around the sides so that yummy pudding does not ooze out. I was going to recommend making it alittle thicker than normal pudding - put it sounds like with the cream cheese it is already pretty thick.
