I'm still trying to figure this all out...what would taste yummy?

Other than a cream cheese filling, I can't think of any other flavor,

I love a whipped cream cheese frosting with spice cake...YUMMM!
Now I want to make one too!

I was going to try apple pie filling inside a spice cake and cover it with cream cheese frosting. That sounds good to me, but I haven't tried it yet. Good luck!

Around the holidays, I always do a spice cake with a pumpkin mousse filling.

This is for class, so we have to use the class buttercream. Would a cream cheese filling taste ok with that?

Also, if you have a filling idea that doesn't need to be refrigerated that would be great. This will likely be going to work with DH and it will be sitting out all day (if it doesn't get eaten first!).

My favorite fillings for spice cake is either apple or caramel apple.

What about some sort of pecan filling? Like a caramel, pecan filling. I've also been wanting to experiment with the coconut pecan filling recipe except use half the evap milk, extra pecans and no coconut--reminds me of a pecan pie, kinda.

I like Mocha.. instead of using milk or water to thin your frosting. Take about 5 tablespoons of instant coffee and mix with some boiling water, let it come to room temp and use that.

I combine cranberry sauce with cream cheese frosting. It's WONDERFUL.

I've added cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg in small amounts to get sort of a "spicy" buttercream filling.

Or, rum and/or coconut extracts added to the plain buttercream tastes good too!

You don't have to worry about refrigeration in either of those.

I've used apple pie filling several times. Everyone loves it & it's super easy. I just cut the apples in smaller pieces. I usually frost it with vanilla, almond, butter-flavored bc.

I just made some spice cupcake filled with apple cream cheese. Yummy! I used apple sleeve filling and mixed with cream cheese filling.

i had tried peach preserves with cream cheese and it was delursh....yum
