I was thinking of using fresh banana slices with imbc as filling for my son's bday cake (chocolate). How long before hand can it be filled without getting gross?
I have used fresh bananas before, but only on simple cakes that were filled, decorated and served the same day. I am hoping to fill and ice on thursday, and decorate on friday, and the party is saturday at noon...would this be okay?
I've used in a cake that I made in the afternoon, and the next morning the bananas were still OK. By that evening, however, they were already pretty brown. I LOVE bananas in a cake, but I wouldn't use them unless you were going to serve on the same day.
The restaurant I work in, our Banana Cream pies are only good for 24hrs and then they go straight into the garbage.
Hi! I also tried using fresh bananas in my filling. I tried slicing and mashing and they turned brown the next day. I tried putting them in lemon juice and sprite and the same thing happened so I used stage 3 banana baby food. It turned out pretty good. I just added the baby food until I liked the final taste. This filling lasted a few days and didn't turn brown. Hope this helps.

Oh my goodness, baby food! What a great idea!! I've been wracking my brain for a good way to do fruit fillings without ending up with soggy fruit. This is why I love cake central!
