I have tried them and the review were fine. My daughter thinks the lemon has an artificial teaste ...the cake store owne suggests adding lemon curd from the store for this one.

OMG! The cherry is so dang good, especially if you layer it with the cream cheese one too!!! So good, just like cherry cheesecake!

I was told to freeze any leftover if it's not needed soon. It can be frozen and thawed up to 6 times without changing the constistncy. I don't think I would keep it in the pantry after it's opened. Even though it doesn't need to be kept in the fridge in a cake, I don't think it would be wise to keep it for a longer period at room temp longer than it would take a cake to be eaten.

I got on Country Kitchen Sweet Art to look at these and this is what they say in regards to storage after being opened.

Pastry Filling-Cherry
Excellent for pies, pastries, cookies, tortes, and between cake layers. One sleeve pastry filling yields 3 cups. These pastry fillings do not soak into cakes. Refrigerate after opening; stays fresh for 3-6 months. Filled cakes may be frozen or refrigerated.

i just refrigerate mine once opened and their fine

chefdot,

I do the same thing. Just place the opened filling in a ziplock and put in the frig.

I have tried the raspberry, strawberry and chocolate bavarian cream. I love the fruit flavors but did not care for the chocolate at all!! I am going to have to try the pineapple, that sounds divine!!

When I have some leftover in a sleeve, I just twist it closed with twist tie, and keep it in a drawer in my refrigerator. I've kept some of my lesser-requested fillings in the frig for several months before with no adverse effects.

When using the filligns do you still pipe a dam around the cake layer?

Is it necessary to add buttercream to it or is it tasty just as is?

I just came from a cake supply store not too far from me I found on the internet and I bought the strawberry... for the babyshoer cake tomorrow.

When filling a cake, I always pipe a dam of buttercream to prevent the filling from oozing out of the cake.

Don't know if this has been asked already, but can anyone list the ingredients from one of these products.
Thanks!

I bought them from my local cake decorating store when I started classes here in Ohio....I thought they had a nasty aftertaste and I would not use them again...just my opinion.

Okay, so I am just verifying...these fillings do not need to be refrigerated (except for leftovers)? I was just curious about some of the fillings like cream cheese or any of the cream fillings mostly...

Ace Hardware sells quite a bit of cake decorating stuff. They also carry sleeves of filling.

I love going to Ace Hardware, they have almost every single decorating tip you can think of. Pricing is similar to Michaels/hobby lobby.

I guess it depends where you live. I'm in NY and my Ace Hardware doesn't sell anything like that. I wish they did, though...
