Help~ Wedding Cake For Saturday!
Decorating By christabelle682 Updated 13 Mar 2007 , 11:11pm by leily
I agreed to do a wedding cake for this weekend- it's a St. patty's day wedding. It is to be a 3 tiered chocolate cake with a chocolate mint filling. I don't want to use liqueur as I don't know if children will be eating this or not. Any ideas? I was almost thinking of choclate pudding with a mint creamer added in, but not sure that is stable enough for tiers. I could do a chocolate mint buttercream- but that seems so plain to me. This is my first wedding cake, but not my first tiered cake- and I really want this to go well. I refuse to spend hours making a filling- so it needs to be somewhat simple. I did find one recipe using mint chocolate creamer- but can't find it in stores around my area...Help~ ideas, please! 
You can make a mousse. I package of mint pudding mix with whipping cream. I don't know if there is a choc mint pudding out there. But it is a thought.
i would use the recipe that you all ready have just b-cuz you all ready know how to make it and i little bit of liqueur wont affect ne one
Good ideas- thanks. Does anyone know if pudding is thick/stable enough to use as a filling for stacked tiers?
You could also try a mint flavoring from the coffee aisle. I've done that with raspberry. Just be sure to check if it contains sugar already. If it does, you'd have to adjust the amount of sugar you use in the rest of the filling.
Also, don't they make a mint extract or flavoring for baking, like a vanilla extract?

It shouldn't matter as the tiers should be dowled anyway.
Perhaps you could thicken the pudding further with gelatin.
You could add peppermint syrup (like the syrups you add to latte's) to your buttercream and even tint it green for your filling.
