Has anyone ever tried to put THIN layers of fudge in with their layers of filling? I could make one to see how well it works, but I am sick of cake. My kids are sick of cake. My sugarbooger is sick of cake. So, I was was hoping there was a sugar fiend dwelling somewhere in here that might have already tried this? ....?? Anyone ...?? Man I hope so!

If not, what are your thoughts on this idea? Good idea? Bad idea?

Thanks in advance!

I decided to experiment - making ANOTHER cake! This one is being sent out for sampling because I just can't do it! I just made a nice silky fudge (not sickeningly sweet - melts in your mouth). Poured into a jelly roll pan (so it's about 1/8" thick). will use a 6" cutter which is the size of the cake I'll be making, and will then layer the chocolate fudge circles in with the filling when I decide what filling I'm going to use.

Can let you know in a couple days if anyone's interested....

Squires kitchen (UK) used to make stuff called 'fudget' which was a fudge mixture especially for covering cakes with so I'm sure it must be good (although I don't think they do it anymore...) Do let us know how this one goes.

Sounds good to me! I think it would be good with a torted cake alternating fudge and "whatever" other filling......yummmm!

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! Now THAT sounds GOOD! Did you put nuts in the fudge? I can't wait to hear how it turned out! Oh, and what is your fudge recipe? WOW! Talk about death by chocolate!

I have seen a fudge frosting recipe, in one of my books that is also used for a filling. I have not tried it yet as my fudge skills are not the best. But it does sound very delicious to have fudge in the cake.

Where is Cake Central? Where is it Saturday already??!! I want to move there!!

Here it is 10am Friday morning (uhhggg). I got up this morning and checked on the fudge. Don't think my plan is going to work without some alterations. The fudge is sticky and I'm thinking it's going to make it hard to cut the cake.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sorry Kerri - meant to answer you in that last post, but I'm at work - running my payroll and dealing with the stupid phone as well. (so very hard at work!)

Toblerone fudge recipe: (this is the only fudge I will eat - I HATE FUDGE!)

½ c. sugar
½ c. butter
¾ c. EVAPORATED milk
400g Toblerone bar (chopped up)

Line 8" sq. pan with waxed paper (extend over sides so you can lift out easily)

In heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, butter and milk to a rolling boil while stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 5 minutes, continuously stirring still.

Remove from heat, add Toblerone chunks and stir until completely melted.

Pour into prepared pan and chill for aprox 3 hours or until set.

Remove from pan and cut into small squares.

Easy peasy! BEWARE - this is SO addictive (unless you hate the nougat that's in the bar). Unfortunately for my butt, I am not one of those people!

Thanks for the recipe! Sounds WONDERFUL! I wonder, if it doesn't work in the middle of a cake, it might be great to top a sheet cake that doesn't need to be decorated - like for a church function.

I saw a post once (God only knows when icon_rolleyes.gif ) that someone was baking brownies with Toblerone in the center. I think they put a layer of brownie batter, then a layer of Toblerone, then another layer of brownie batter, then baked it. Maybe you could do something like that in a cake. I don't know how it would work, but people put chocolate chips & chunks of candy in cakes. icon_confused.gif What do you think?!?!

Well - I'm going to forget the whole idea for now. SOMEONE ATE THE FUDGE ON ME! lol - man - went to get it out of the fridge and ¾ of it has been eaten!

Another time...
