I've been selling an "Italian cream cake" made with white cake, white chocolate mousse filling mixed with toasted pecans and coconut, and buttercream icing. (That was the recipe I was taught at a previous place I worked.) Today, I realized that cream cheese icing is traditional for Italian cream cake (I think). Some people read the description when ordering, but some don't. I wonder if they were expecting cream cheese and were disappointed.

Is that the traditional recipe? What's the traditional filling?

Not sure, but even if they expected cream cheese I'm sure that they were very happy with what they got. Your cake sounds DELICIOUS!!!!
Yum yum!! thumbs_up.gif Would you mind sharing the recipe to that filling?!

Also, if they did expect something else or were diappointed perhaps they would've said something to you.

How about a canoli filling? Would that be the traditional italian filling? I have a pretty good recipe I found on the internet and I think its tasty.

Let me know and I'll forward you that recipe...
