My son will be 13 on Sunday. He wants a banana split cake, but it will need to be frozen as it has ice cream on top(wilton). Does anyone have any other ideas for what type of cake to make for a 13 year old boy. I haven't worked with fondant but I do pretty good with buttercream.
I can do this cake with no problem. The problem that I am running into is keeping it frozen.
It will be a sheet cake with whipped frosting, and 3 rows of ice cream. One chocolate, one vanilla, and one strawberry. It will have bananas and pineapple tidbits on top and be drizzled in chocolate. Each scoop of ice cream will have a star of whipped topping and a cherry.
I am looking for a backup cake that won't have to be kept frozen, just in case I can't fit it in my freezer.
You can always decorate an ice cream cake with buttercream. Are you having problems with being able to keep the cake frozen? Please give us more information.

I'm guessing she means this cake?
Here's a thought:
- Make the base cake and frost it in advance.
- Prepare the 12 scoops of ice cream, and freeze those in a container.
- Earlier that day, slice the bananas coating them with a little bit of lemon juice
- Right before you're ready to serve the cake, put the ice cream scoops on the cake and top with the bananas, pineapple, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherries.
If you just freeze the ice cream scoops, that shouldn't take too much freezer room. Also this last-minute preparation should really only take a few minutes.
Yeah, I don't see why you can't just scoop the ice cream onto the cake just before you serve it. Although I do see the issue with the bananas browning. Lemon juice should help with that as shapeacake said.
That cake looks super yummy btw. I love banana splits!
