Hummingbird layer cake with pineapple flowers

This banana cream cheese frosting is sublime! The pineapple flowers take some time to dry out, but they don’t require much effort. I've found that I get the best results with a ripe pineapple – the flowers have a better, brighter colour and dehydrate more rapidly. They're not only pretty, but edible and truly delicious, too. The pineapple flowers can be made a few days in advance.
