I am sure this has been discussed before however I cannot find anything to help me. I was asked to do a cake with strawberry filling. I am making a French Vanilla cake (is that a good combo)?
I made a practice cake using frozen sliced strawberries however it seeped thru (I made the practice cake with chocolate) I did the dam and everything. Now I bought strawberry filling in a can and another bag of frozen whole strawberries but I am not sure where to go with it. Do I drain them? Pick them out of the strawberry juice? I saw some recipes in the recipe tab and I suppose to mix it with something? The lady just wants strawberries.
Can someone please advise me?? Thank you so much in advance.

I used the "fruit filling" recipe from Cake Central. I've only tried it with raspberries, and it was WONDERFUL...didn't soak through the cake or seep out. It does say that you can strawberries. Try it, I think you'll like it.

I would just taw the frozen strawberries and drain all the water excess, you can slice them and mix the with whipped cream or with pastry pride cream and this makes a great strawberrie filling, many people use the strawberries to make a jelly with water and sugar in a saucepan, and then let cool and put the jelly as filling, I prefer the cream and strawberry filling because is not that sweet.
hope it helps

I buy a strawberry filling made by Marie's, the same one who makes salad dressings. I find it in the produce department of our grocery store, it comes in a glass jar or sometimes in a plastic tub like margarine or cool whip. I buy fresh strawberries, slice them thin and mix in enough strawberry filling to moisten the berries or as much as you would like. Then just make the dam and add the filling to your cake. Very good.
