Hannah Montana

An 11"x15" cake, at 2" high, this would provide around 30 servings as they would need to be a little larger than trditional party-sized servings.

Fun cake for an adult, from a group. This "bunch" of bananas is decorated in buttercream. The sign shown is a simple paper sign, but could be made in sugar paste (with enough notice). It's a 12" round with another layer to help create the bananas. It would likely provide around 40 party size servings.
