Golden Anniversary

50 years of marriage is commonly referred to as a Golden Anniversary.  This weekend we had a chance to create a classic white and gold cake for a couple celebrating their 50th at the Lotos Club in NYC.  One of the tiers was a banana cake with peanut butter buttercream...how delicious!
