A very special blog post for a extremely important and worthy cause, it’s all in the name of OCRF which stands for " Ovarian Cancer Research Fund". Foodbuzz is posting a challenge to spread the word and raise money for the fund and I couldn't pass up the chance to help spread the word. I had been a fan of
Gilda Radner for years and was saddened by her untimely death caused by this dreadful disease. This challenge will donate $50.00 for every Banana Split posted by a Foodbuzz publisher, in which I am honored to be one of them. I am posting this one since its been a favorite in the family for many years in hopes to help this cause. To read more about the Kelly Confidential website (raising awareness for

I love that you put yours on a cake! I'm loving seeing everyone's splits...would prefer to taste test each of them, though.
That banana split looks amazing! I agree with Belinda, I would much rather be taste testing... ;)
It's absolutely wonderful, Claudia - I wish I had time because the cause is near and dear to me. Congrats to you for taking it on so masterfully!
What a scrumptious banana split! And the cake makes it extra special!
This is a great cause and I love your split!
nice cake, nice spit but best of all for a much worthy benefit - I too loved Gilda...
The minute I saw the picture it brought me back to growing up in Long Island where we'd go to Friendly's as kids & share a banana split with my family. I think I'll make this at my end of summer party because it evokes so many memories!
looks heavenly,indeed,claudia!

Gorgeous. You did a wonderful job on your split.
I had forgotten Gilda Radner passed away from this type of cancer.
I truly hope the feedback is good for this cause. It's so important to support and create awareness.
