I have a carebear cake to make for a lady for her daughter that wants
vanilla cake with vanilla filling and topped with vanilla buttercream, she said she does not want vanilla buttercream to be the filling so i am kinda stumped
the only thing I can think of is a cooked vanilla pudding.
but I have never tried this and was wondering if some other cc had any ideas or recipes that might work , this cake is quite important because she wants her wedding cake to be the same, next july
please any suggestions will be greatly appreiated

What about the twinkie filling? I've used the cooked flour/milk icing for filling also - sometimes just adding some marshmellow cream to it too. You could use almost anything for filling.

Strawberry preserves or strawberry cream filling is my favorite with vanilla cake.

I have done vanilla custard filling (like a pudding that you mention), topped with fresh sliced strawberries and bananas. (It's my brother's favorite filling!) You would just need to make sure your dam is strong enough to support the softer filling. Best wishes with this, as I realize it will bring you more business in the coming year!

Sounds like this may be a good time to use a vanilla pastry cream, which is a lot thicker than a pudding.

Try to Google it. Sorry, but I don't have a recipe for it.

A nice filling that seems to be popular with my consumers is a box of vanilla pudding and whipping cream. It is like a mousse type filling, and tasts delicious. You can use any flavor pudding, as well. I think if you check this site for Chocolate Mousse fillings, you'll find it there.

thank you for all your help I think I will try the pastry cream filling and the pudding whipped cream method and see which one turns out better

If you find a good pastry cream recipe I'd love to have a copy!
