I have a baby shower to work on tonight and the person giving the shower left the flavor up to me and I am at a loss. It is for about 40 people and I don't want to alienate anybody with a weird flavor that nobody likes. The cake is white cake and it will be carved. I am polling to see what you all would use for filling. Thanks in advance.

Raspberry and strawberry are my two most popular fillings with white cake. Both go wonderfully with white cake. Personally, I'd pick raspberry. YUM!!

Raspberry preserves are my number one request to. Sometimes I get onto google and search favorite cake flavors and see if I can come up with something great that way. I like to do 2 layers of preserves or even a lemon curd (very popular too) and the middle layer is buttercream.

Both of those I think would be pretty versitle.

Here are some from www.jtcakes.com: Lemon Lust A lemon-zested white cake brushed with a fresh lemon syrup and a layer of raspberry jam. Filled with a deliciously tart lemon buttercream. For real lemon lovers, we can add a thin layer of lemon curd between the cake layers instead of the raspberry jam.

Golden Hazelnut Moist yellow cake layers filled with a layer of hazelnut buttercream and a layer of coffee buttercream. If you choose, a thin spread of the best-tasting apricot jam on the cake is the perfect touch.

Raspberry Lime Rickey White cake splashed with a key lime syrup and filled with a layer of raspberry buttercream and a layer of lime buttercream. (Pistachio buttercream is a good alternative if you are not a fan of lime)

doc_farms ... those combinations from jtcakes.com sounds fantastic. The Raspberry Lime Rickey sounds TO DIE FOR!!!!!

I like to use lemon curd, my own, in bc to make a mild to moderate citrus flavor. It's goes over very well. Also lemon curd alone is great.

Hey, I just got back from visiting my family and had a birthday parties for my niece and nephew. They bought this cake from this place and had pecan filling. OH MY GOD! Its out of this world. How she make this? Any one has any ideas?

I agree with the lemon.

Or raspberry, or chocolate mousse, or orange curd, or strawberry...I could go on and on..I find white cake goes with almost everything!

Has anyone have any idea of the pecan filling for the cakes? It was out of this world! I could have eaten the whole cake! It makes me wonder where she get this recipe for that pecan fillings.

I make a strawberry cheesecake filling that would be good. In each layer I put a thin layer og buttercream, followed by a thin layer of strawberry jam ( seedless), and then the cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake filling:
Beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/3 c. sugar on high speed until nice and thick. Then fold in one package instant cheesecake flavor pudding ( dry-not prepared) Refrigerate for 30 min. until nice and thick.
Hope that makes sense!

I'm all about the lemon curd blended with the BC to cut the tartness! I actually used a can of cherry pie filling in a pinch once, worked like a charm! Just don't forget the BC dam to keep the leaks in.

Good luck!

I love Lemon and Raspberry together. Also Apricot. Yummy. Now Im wondering about this Pecan cake. What did it taste like??? Give us details.

Just want to add my two cents.(All the above flavors sounded so good I started to drool.) My favorite cake filling combo lately is cream cheese icing-- like the kind you use for carrot cakes-- and a thin spread of SEEDLESS raspberry jam. I've had great feed back on this. BTW, some directions tell you to heat up the jam or preserves first in order to spread it. Not necessary. Just scoop it out of the jar into a small bowl, stir it up good, then spread it on.

let me tell you about this pecan filling. I dont know how she did that. It was out of this world. Thats all I can say. Wish I knew how she did that and I would share it with you all. You have no idea how bad I want to find out how she did that.


GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Who made it? And can you ask how it was done? Could it hurt to try? You have me going on this!! Ü

My favorate and most requested is white almond cake with raspberry filling.... Just add a little almond flavoring to your white cake batter before baking. It makes a plain cake wonderful!!

it was from some cake shop that my sister bought from. I have to find out more.

I made the White Almond Sour Cream Cake with strawberry pie filling and fresh strawberries for dinner today. It was delicious. Next time I will make more layers so I can have more of the strawberry filling. I was afraid of over filling because I did that before and had filling oozing out.
