Wrap cakes, “tum style” – After placing the filling in the center of a large rectangle of clean and softened banana leaf, pull the side facing you to touch the opposite side in the middle and pleat in one side. Pleat the other side in, fold one wing of the pleat to the front of the package. Fold the other wing to the back of the package. Place the package in the center of a smaller strip of banana leaf and fold up to hold the pleats together. Secure with a toothpick. Tuck in odd corners and prepare for steaming.
