Bananas Foster Wedding Cake Request - Shelf Stable?
Baking By Tempi Updated 16 Aug 2018 , 10:25pm by -K8memphis
I'm a home baker limited to the types of goods I can bake. Is there a bananas foster cake recipe that is shelf stable - icing/filling included? I've been asked to quote on this for a November wedding.
not using real bananas cooked or fresh like in a filling -- but probably ok cooked into a cake but i am not positive about that but pretty sure -- but for the run you can do a simple syrup splash
Gretchen's Vegan Bakery blog has a bananas foster cake. I don't bake vegan but I love all her standard recipes that I've tried. But I think you'll have to find a sub for the fresh bananas, maybe pudding like kcp2264 says. Fresh fruit fillings just aren't going to be shelf stable; they'll start to mold. (ugh, once bought a moldy cake at a bakery, yuck). I think the closest you can get will be bananas foster inspired.
i'm shocked that you guys think pudding is shelf stable -- maybe you mean sleeve fillings?
yes i agree -- bananas foster inspired
you could do a banana flavored buttercream using banana flavoring -- but if it's a banana cake you got that flavor down -- just get the rum in there with a great vanilla icing and you're there

Vanilla icing or maybe something caramel-ish?
caramel sounds good to me -- and it has more of the bananas foster vibe --- you are right!
And can still do a vanilla buttercream for the outside if the bride wants a white cake.
