The big cupcake is done! The top is homemade banana cake (a Martha Stewart recipe, and you can bet she was roundly cussed several times - thank goodness my MIL came over and helped me) and the bottom is a box devil's food; I'm going to frost it (chocolate whipped) before we leave tomorrow because if I do it now it won't look nice when we get there. As it is it may be a little squooshed from my cake carrier. Can someone do me a favor and bring plates, napkins and silverware?
We had enough banana cake batter left over to make a whole separate cake - oh my god, it's GOOD. Wow. I was worried because I messed up the directions a little bit, but as MIL said it all eventually goes together anyways and it worked out. For someone who's not very cooking-talented I did pretty good!

Yummy!! I can't wait to try it. Someone was talking the other day about a banana chocolate chip cake that a bakery in Dallas makes and it made really wish I had a piece.
Good job on baking it homemade!! Everytime I've tried to make a homemade cake it has fallen.
I'm not lying, I had to cut a good two inches off of each cake, it was hilarious! The chocolate side looked like a chef's hat, hee.
I thought about adding chocolate chips to it, but then I forgot in the mess of things (and let me tell you, it was a mess. I really need deeper mixing bowls, ugh).
I can also bring the paper plates
ETA: the cake sounds yummy!!
