I am making a cake for my grandma this weekend, and I wanted to do a filling other than icing. I plan on decorating the cake on Saturday, and serving it on Sunday. But my Wilton instructor told me that if I put filling in the cake the cake will get soggy, unless I fill it the day I serve it.
Any input? I am thinking of bavarian creme or boston creme.

Unless you have a very liquidy filling I think you will be fine. I have filled cakes with bavarian creme and had them still be great a week later.

What I have done a few times and it seemed to work fine... I put a think layer of icing on the cake before filling. It seems to make a little barrier and keeps the cake from absorbing the filling.

I do it all the time and it works just fine. I usually do it the day before and the cake is fine even 4 days later.
