A 2-layer chocolate cake, with fresh banana pastry cream filling, and covered in vanilla bean buttercream, I think that’s a pretty unforgettable 1st birthday cake. Friends of ours commissioned me to make their adorable daughter’s 1st birthday cake. It was a luau themed party. So as requested, I made orange hibiscus flowers and scattered hibiscus petals around the cake. I was very happy with the outcome, as was little Miss Aysa. PHOTOS: Danielle Bilton
