A photo of the Hummingbird cake at my actual wedding <3

I decided to make four wedding cakes, and yes, this is one of them! This Hummingbird Cake took on the role of my “Something Borrowed” in the cake line-up, seeing as I was borrowing it from my sister. It was her wedding cake flavor, and having it as part of my wedding made it all the more special. But also, it is truly just a delicious cake flavor: Moist banana cake with sweet and juicy pineapple, layered with a buttery graham cracker crumble and cream cheese frosting – it has a tropical but nostalgic feel that I can’t get enough of.

This is a take on traditional Hummingbird Cake, but of course with my own spin. This cake is HUGE and feeds a crowd (think 24-28 people) but you can easily scale it to fit whatever cake tins you have! More on that later in the blog post. For now, it’s just time for me to write my love letter to Hummingbird Cake.
