In a large bowl, combine Heavy Whipping Cream, Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract.
Using a Hand Mixer (or whisk), whip together until it forms stiff peaks.
In a Small Bowl, mix 4 teaspoons Water with 1 teaspoon Unflavored Gelatin. Let sit for 1 minute until the Gelatin blooms and becomes a solid.
Microwave Gelatin for about 8 seconds until it becomes a liquid. Let cool.
Begin to whip the cream again, drizzling the Gelatin in slowly until combined. (Note: this will create a very thick stabilized whipped cream)
Place in piping bag until read to use. (Note: if you don’t have piping bag, use a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner.

In a large 4 cup Measuring Cup with a spout, mix Pancake mix according to package directions. Add Vanilla, additional Oil (if directions do not ask for it) and Cinnamon. Mix until combined. (Note: Do not overmix or pancakes will turn out tough. Batter will be lumpy.)
Transfer about 1/4 of the batter to a small glass Measuring Cup with a spout.
To the larger Measuring Cup, add Red food coloring. To the smaller Measuring Cup, add the Blue food coloring. Stir until combined. (Note: It may take a little more red to get a nice vibrant color.)
In a non-stick Frying Pan over medium-low heat. Add a touch of vegetable oil and rub around the pan with a paper towel to help ensure it will be non-stick.
Add Red Batter to create a 7-inch pancake. Do not flip it. Instead, cover with a lid and let cook. To help steam better, add a teaspoon of water and replace lid until cooked through. Remove from pan.
Add Blue Batter to create a 2-inch pancake. Again, do not flip it. Instead, cover with a lid and let cook. To help steam better, add a teaspoon of water and replace lid until cooked through. Remove from pan.

Place Red pancake on a plate. Place the Blue pancake in the center.
Pipe a whipped cream ring equal distance from the edge of the Blue pancake and the edge of the Red pancake.
Create the star by cutting a 1/2-inch thick slice of banana. Place the Star template on the slice of Banana and cut out the star.
Place in the center of the Blue pancake.
