i have a customer who wanted a chocolate cake with cherry filling...so if u ask me, that's black forest. now i wanted to put a layer of cherry and a layer of nutriwhip (it's like a whip topping substitute) but i'm afraid it won't hold up. normally i fill my cakes with a mixture of pudding and nutriwhip and it's great, but alone, i dont think it will cut it. it seems to fragile to last (i'm filling on thursday night for a saturday cake)
What would u think if i made a pudding/nutriwhip combo like i do for my normal cakes, in vanilla flavour and put a VERY VERY VERY thin layer on top of my cherry filling. i know true black forest has whip cream...but my justification is she didnt ask for black forest she asked for "cocolate cake and cherry filling" and i think the cherry alone won't taste that great, but with a thin layer of vanilla filling, i think it would lighten the whole thing up....any opinions???
Cake Fairy,
Chocolate and Cherry are one of the top requests I get (as well as raspberry.... yuck!) so just do what your customer asked for. If you feel that the filling will soak through, put a small layer of your chocolate icing on your cake before you lay the filling down. You shouldn't have a problem.

I'm not using chocolate icing for the cake though, i'm decorating in a wine theme...so the cake will be buttercup yellow with burgundy and purple...
i'm not afraid that the filling will soak through, i know it won't b/c i use it for all my other cakes, i'm afraid the whip topping will soak through if i use it by itself
fughedaboutit!!
no need to do the whipped topping layer.
chocolate and cherry will be just fine by themselves. the trick is to use nice tart cherries in a not to sweet "goo" and a very rich chocolate cake.
having had many BFCs both in NYC from true german bakery and a german resturant and also in Germany....
who cares about the whipped cream....just give me my chocolate, cherries and large chunks of shaved chocolate! put the whipped cream on the Asbach Kaffee!
(and I for one also like chocolate and raspberry!)
really!!!
I'm using a commercial cherry filling... i love it on top of my cheesecake, bi t with chocolate, i just can't imagine the taste....
anyone else suggest no whip cream??
If they didn't ask for it, I wouldn't add it. If they had wanted a Black Forest Cake, they would have requested it. It will be fine! There's no whipped cream with chocolate covered cherries--it's really not that different.
