LO's 1st birthday is this weekend and I am trying to decide what kind of cake to make.

LO's smash cake will be an egg free dairy free banana cake. I LOVE chocolate cake but I think I want to make a banana cake for everyone else too. Chocolate is my one and only. Even my wedding cake was chocolate with ganache frosting. For some reason chocolate doesn't seem right to me for this birthday party. I like the idea of banana since her monthly pics are taken with a monkey. I'm not really a theme person so the monkeys aren't appearing anywhere else in the decor.

My husband thinks I'm nuts and we should have chocolate. I have a cold and I can't tell if that's throwing me off so I need your help.
