I'm trying to get an answer on this. Does anyone use anything other than ganace or bc to fill a pillow cake? I was asked to do one but fill it with rasberry jam. Not sure how to go about carving it (without having to worry about jam leaking out)
Thanks
I'm sorry I'm not sure if I am understanding your question correctly, but are you wanting to fill a cake with raspberry preserve and still be able to carve it into a pillow shape afterwards? If so, what I do with my carved cakes, is carve as much of the shape before filling (like with wax paper between the layers, than put down a buttercream "dam" and then fill with the preserve. If you end up needing to carve additional cake off and cuts into the dam, just make sure you dam it right back up with more bc. I hope I answered your question.
I do the same thing. I stack all of my cake layers, carve, then remove and restack with filling in between. (even when I am only filling with buttercream) Works pretty well this way.
Can't wait to see your pillow cake, i can't wait to have the chance to make one (hopefully for my cousin in June!)
thank you, I wasn't sure if I would be able to restack a pillow cake w/o it falling apart. Especially since I'll be using 2 11x15 pans. This cake will have a peacock and sunflowers sitting on top of it.
