Anniversary Choc Banana Cake
Rebecca's tribute to her parents' 35th wedding anniversary, replicating the flavors of their wedding cake and serving as good luck for her own upcoming marriage.
A vertical layer cake with chocolate sponge wrapped around banana mascarpone, coated in whipped dark chocolate ganache and topped with bruleed banana slices.
Rebecca is an advertising executive from Chicago who skipped her own engagement party to bake for the show, leaving 'a really nice cardboard cut out' in her place.
That looks very good.' Paul approved the bake. Prue admired the 'lovely deep ganache.' The flavor critique was firm: 'Banana filling comes through very strongly. You've got banana essence in that. Too much. It's too artificial.'
Overall: 'But I like the bake. I think it's very good.'
