Try looking here... she has some really good filling recipes

One of my favorites is a strawberry filling.

1 small jar jet puff marshmellow cream
1 8oz softened block cream cheese
1/2 can Comstock Strawberry pie or topping mix

cream creamchesse with mixer and then add the marshmellow cream. Slowly add pie filling til mixed. chill 1 hour then add to cake!
Enjoy!!!!

I have a question about cake fillings. I'm always paranoid that the filling will go bad if I use it in a fondant covered cake. Since I can't put fondant covered cakes in the fridge, where do you put yours til serving/delivery? Also, how long can these filling last in there? I'd love to try fruit and custard fillings, but don't want them to go bad!

Thanks

Most of the time I buy the non-refrigeration fillings from www.sugarcraft.com.

mvucic - how long will your cake stay out while covered in fondant? Many fruit fillings will be fine in there unrefrigerated for a day or so...

I guess I'm wondering, since a fondant covered cake can stay fresh 2-3 days out, does that go for those filled with all types of fillings or just certain ones?

I usually make a ganache filling (like for truffles) which can handle this amount of time. But if I make something like a strawberry filling, how long with it last with a fondant icing at room temp.?

TIA!

I don't think I would use the filling with cream cheese if the cake cannot be refrigerated. I made a filling just mixing some buttercream with the strawberry filling that comes in the sleeve. I think that would be fine and it tasted great.

I'm thankful someone asked this, because I really want to make a Bailey's chocolate mousse for my Aunts cake (from the ladycakes site above), but am paranoid about how long it would be okay not in the fridge (like when its out to serve). This mousse does have the eggs brought to 160F which is supposed to kill the bacteria, but I'm a worrywort

Can fondant really not go in the fridge? I know royal icing can't.

mvucic - I am going to PM you with my fabulous berry filling (you can use any berry). I have given it to a bunch of other CC users and everyone is very happy with it.

(Also, I have't had a bride yet who hasn't included it in her cake! well, except the cupcake ones...)
