Allow the sugar to cool completely, then gently remove the cage from the bowl and store in an air-tight container. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times.

Use 3 apple-bananas per plate. Place 2 small pieces of the Honey Pahoehoe in the center of the ice cream scoops. Place the red lava sugar cage over the entire banana split.
