This homemade Bananas in Pyjamas cake was made based on an enlarged photocopy from a book. I then made a vanilla cake mix 2 packet mixes in a baking tray, then cut out the shape from the photo copy. The hands were made from offcuts, iced in yellow & stuck onto the main cake. The face was iced in yellow, the rest of the cake in white butter icing. The blue stripes were piped on with a wide flat nozzle.
The collar, waistband and shoes were made from large marshmallows cut to shape. Buttons were white choc buttons. Outlines of the hands & shoe detail was with black gel decorating tubes. There were 3 balloons made from large muffin tin holes. The balloon strings were made from cut down licorice straps.
As I needed to have a cake for 2 groups, I used the balloons to cut up for the first party, then replaced them for the second, where the homemade Banana in Pyjamas cake was devoured!
That is just a fantastic cake the best cake I have ever seen pity you don’t live in Sydney otherwise I would have you make one for me. I know my friend Altiyan would just love it it would just bring a tear to his eye.
