How Much Canned Frosting For Filling??
Decorating By sun33082 Updated 21 Jun 2006 , 7:13pm by springlakecake
I'm making a wedding cake for July 1st. Decided to use canned frosting as the filling. The cake is 16, 12, 8, 4" tiers.
Anyone ever done this and know how many cans I need to buy for each tier?? I'm tempted to guess, but I always guess short lol This is my first wedding cake and I need as little stress as possible 
Also any frosting flavor suggestions would be appreciated. 16" is Red Velvet, 12" is White, 8" is Chocolate, and top tier is also Red Velvet.
Thanks!
Sorry, I wouldn't begin to know how many cans would be needed. Have you considered using buttercream frosting that you make? Is it a paid for wedding cake? If so, I am not so sure canned frosting would be the best. Don't mean to offend, Helen
It's for my best friend's wedding cake. Not really a paid cake, but she is buying the ingredients. I ran it across her and she said it sounded good. She didn't like the pudding filling I did for her bridal shower cake.
It's for filling, not for the outside of the cake. I've found many posts on here where people use the different flavors of canned frosting for cake filling and it sounded good to me lol
I'd probably find an easy filling do besides canned frosting, or just use your buttercream. Chocolate Ganache is wonderful, easy and doesnt need to be refrigerated-might be good for the chocolate layer. But if you want to do canned frosting, I think that cream cheese frosting is a traditional frosting for red velvet cake. I really dont know how much you would need-I guess it depends on if you would be torting your layers or not. You could always just buy a lot ot be on the safe side and return what you dont use.
