So I am not sure why this cake is thought to be too sweet or too big. I made it with minor changes and thought that it was slightly bland when I made it with less sugar. The cake is so great cake! I also added some chocolate tidbits on top of it which created a less grandiose. It is hard to say whether I like the caramel cream or not. I thought it tasted too much like bananas, not enough like caramel. Try using half a banana instead of a whole one. and whip the cream more than the recipe calls for. The design is PERFECT!!!! I've learned this all at www.gourmetrecipe.com and at www.everything-cake.com...they have lots of exciting and tasty recipes for you to choose from...Try it!
