Banana Cake and Whipped Frosting September 9, 2015

Hi!

Here is the special cake we made for my niece’s birthday party. My sister found the cake and frosting recipes. Both recipes are simple to make; especially the frosting.

I did not try the cake but I heard it was good. I know for a fact the strawberry frosting is incredible! I was in heaven when I tried the frosting, it was all I could do to wash my mixing bowl and stop eating it.

The frosting is light; I love how pink it is from the strawberries.

My sister suggested using this frosting as a fruit dip; I think that would be lovely.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful cake and frosting!
