What You’ll Need:

2 boxes chocolate cake mix and the ingredients indicated on the box
1 box (5.1 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 quart heavy whipping cream
8 or more bananas
Orange food coloring
1 pack candy corn or any other decorative candy


What You’ll Do:

1. Prepare both chocolate cake mixes according to the directions on the box.
2. Let the cakes thoroughly cool.
3. Pour the pudding mix and heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
4. Using electric beaters, whip the mixture and add the orange food coloring until the mixture forms stiff peaks and is a pretty shade of orange.
5. Cut the cake into bit size cubes.
6. Slice the bananas thinly.
7. In a large serving dish (a big glass one looks prettiest), begin layering the ingredients.  Start with a small layer of cake (you might have to pack it down lightly), then a layer of pudding cream, and finally a layer of bananas.
8.  Repeat step 7 until you fill the dish.
9. Cover the top with a layer of the pudding cream
10. Use candy corn and bananas to decorate the top.
11. Enjoy!
