Hi everyone, let me start by saying thank you!! Thank you for the inspiration, the advice and the tasty recipes that I've benefitted from here on CC.
Here is my dilemma... I have 3 cakes to do this week and I'm looking for easy, tasty fillings to use that don't need refrigeration. The first cake is a chocolate sheet cake. The second one is a marble cake and the third is the White Almond Sour Cream cake from this site.
I haven't done any fillings with cakes yet, just BC between the layers. Can you use pie fillings mixed with BC? I've tried the Reese's Peanut Butter filling and it was good, but I need more ideas as the three people I'm making cakes for have asked me to come up with something great for the fillings.
Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!
One of the members here gave me her recipe for an oreo filling. I LOVED it! My family loves it. She was right when she sent it...it is very addicting.
Let me know if you want it, if so I'll PM it to you.
I would love to have the recipe. PM me when you get a chance. Thank you I can't wait to try it!!
If you want fruit you could always try preserves. Mackays preserves makes a great strawberries and champagne flavor that is great in cakes, sold near the jams and jellies. Or you could try pudding snack cups, mixing the vanilla pudding with fresh bananas is great.

Thanks vww104! I would have never thought of putting straight preserves in. I'd always assumed it should be mixed with something - don't know why!? 
Pudding snack cups is a great suggestion.
Thanks I'll try these!!
Yup. Raspberry and lemon are my fav pie filling (pricey, but oh well). I've used others. In fact I have a can of boisenberry in my pantry that I'm not going to use since I now have other fillings that are cheaper. You can buy filling sleeves, but they really taste the same as pie fillings to me (my fillings are the same as the sleeves only bigger containers) so it really just comes down to price and availability. One thing that frustrated me is I would go for lemon pie filling and they would only have a couple of cans and I needed more.....
I mixed Smucker's apricot preserves with my all butter BC! Oh wow! It tasted like homemade peach ice cream. I refrigerated this because of the all butter and milk. But I bet it would be good mixed with any vanilla BC! I also did the lemon pie filling and rasberry (seedless) jam in a cake for today. People really liked it. Its that tart sweet combo! yummy.
I fill my cakes with fresh strawberries cut into bite size pcs then I mix in strawberry glaze.
I'm still a little new to fillings, but was told to put a thin coat of BC to keep thinner fillings from seeping into the cake. (I would really like to try the strawberry glaze, but haven't had time yet! Too many recipes to try!) 
I love the chocolate/caramel combo and got a great caramel filling from here that I love to use. I've left the cake out many times with no problem.
1 jar of caramel ice cream topper
1 block of softened cream cheese
1 cup of powdered sugar
I combine the caramel and cream cheese first and mix until blended and smooth. Sometimes I will stop just here because I don't like overly sweet fillings. I may add about 1/4c or so of the powdered sugar - it's up to you! Taste as you go.
BUT IT'S SO GOOD AND EASY!
Does the bettercream need refridgeration?? I just bought a small carton of the chocolate one yesterday. It says non-dairy but it was in the coolers.
Once the bettercreme is thawed out it needs to stay refridgerated. Once on a cake it is suggested to stay refridgerated unless it will only be out for a few hours.
Wow, thanks to everyone so far. I really appreciate the suggestions.
I made the Almond Sour Cream cake (from CC) yesterday and used a pie filling. I mixed lemon pie filling with my buttercream - to cut the tartness (I did a thin layer of BC on the layers in case of seepage).
The combination was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. I'll definitely use this combo again!
