Nothing Wrong With Classic

• Banana slices and whipped cream are all you need to create a classic-looking banana cream pie. Spray or spoon a large circle of whipped cream in the middle of the pie and top it with a banana slice for a simple decoration. Or add small circles of whipped cream around the pie’s edge and top each one with a banana slice.

Flower Power

• Don't hesitate to feature other fruits on top of your banana cream pie, especially if a floral motif is what you're after. Spray or spoon a small circle of whipped cream in the middle of the pie and top it with a maraschino cherry. Cut banana slices in half and arrange them around the cherry like petals around the center of a flower. Make eight small circles around the edge of the pie, spacing them evenly apart, and repeat the flower decoration on each. Use raspberries for the center if you want a tart twist to your pie, or use sliced strawberries for petals if you want a stronger berry flavor.

Game Time

• Whipped cream in a spray can is the secret to creating a checkerboard design on your tasty pie. Or use a piping bag and round nozzle to create decorative lines. Create vertical lines, spaced a few inches apart, across the pie. Create horizontal lines, spaced a few inches apart, across the vertical lines. Place a chocolate chip wherever the lines meet and place a banana slice in each square to create a bold checkered pattern. Caramel and butterscotch chips complement the pie, too.

Halloween Pie

• Flavored syrup and a toothpick are all it takes to design a spider web decoration for your pie. Choose from chocolate, caramel, butterscotch or strawberry syrup. Squeeze a thin ring of syrup around the edge of the pie. Move in an inch and create another circle. Repeat the process until the pie is covered in circles. Dip a toothpick into the edge of the pie and drag it toward the center. Move over a few inches and repeat the process, creating lines around the pie like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Place three banana slices in the middle of the pie and drizzle with syrup for a finishing touch.
