HAPPY SECOND BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE GUY ELIOTT!
AMAZING TO ME HOW TWO YEARS HAVE QUICKLY PASSED. THIS REALLY IS BANANAS.

I MUST ADMIT, ALTHOUGH I SWORE OFF BIG PARTY CELEBRATIONS AFTER ELIOTT'S FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY, I WAS INSPIRED BY HIS OBSESSION WITH BANANAS TO THROW HIM A BANANA THEMED BONANZA. I STARTED PIECING A FEW THINGS TOGETHER ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. WANTED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX & MAKE IT FUN + MODERN. I MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW SLOW YOU GET IN YOUR 8TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY BECAUSE I WAS THIIIIIS CLOSE TO CANCELING A FEW DAYS BEFORE + DOING SOMETHING WITH JUST ELIOTT. BUT I KNEW I WOULD REGRET IT...+ NOW I'M SO GLAD WE DID IT. ELIOTT HAD THE BEST TIME WITH OUR FAMILY + A FEW OF HIS TODDLER BUDDIES.

NO FANCY PHOTOS THIS TIME AROUND BUT WANTED TO SHARE SOME DETAILS BELOW!

BAKE & CELEBRATE: DARK CHOCOLATE NAKED CAKE.

perfectly imperfect? i think so. extra dark chocolate cake layered with vanilla cream frosting simply decorated with peonies. first try of many :) i have definitely become a fan of substituting whole eggs with egg whites only & swapping [crisco] oil with coconut oil. need to prep in 3-5 days advance? after your cake has fully cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap & keep in in the fridge. worked like a charm.
