Wow, I wish I could help you. I will read posts later to see what others say. I hope it stays up in the freezer.
You might want to put what kind of filling? And did you make a dam with frosting/icing so that you can put the filling or something like that?

Could be several things.

Was the cake still warm? The filling may be melting.

Did you add an icing dam before filling? The firm icing ring about 1/2 inch inside the edge of the cake will act as a dam and keep the filling inside.

Is the cake heavy all by itself? You may need to push in posts or dowel rods to hold it together.

I put three soda straws inside all my layer cakes. I seem to get slippage, no matter what I use for a filling (even plain buttercream) if I don't.

Which way is it slipping?? Did you level the layers?
