BANANA BISCOFF CARAMEL CAKE 🍌🎂 these flavors BANANA BISCOFF CARAMEL CAKE 🍌🎂 these flavors are so warm and cozy together: layers of my favorite extra-moist banana cake, Biscoff cookie butter frosting, gooey salted caramel, and crushed Biscoff crumbs. Top it with a salted caramel drip + a Biscoff sprinkled buttercream rope border to go the extra mile. It’ll be worth it imo! ✨ ⁣⁣

We have another little chef joining us early this We have another little chef joining us early this summer! Theo keeps calling it “baby sis” and we are so excited to see if he’s right in just a couple weeks 🥳⁣

PS I had to bribe Theo with an Oreo to take a photo with the ultrasound pics + then he just stuffed them into his dinosaur’s mouth so I think he’s off to a good start as big bro 😆⁣

3 Cups (360g) powdered sugar⁣
