I have a request for a white cake with strawberry and cream cheese filling with a cream cheese icing. It'll be 1/2 sheet cake. Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't sound appealing at all. Any suggestions as to how to make the filling? Also, will this taste good??? 
Think Strawberrry cheesecake. The combo is great, but it can be a bit sweet. If it was me, I would mix a good quality s.berry jam into the icing. You could use fresh berries, but it can be risky in hot weather.
I love the crusting cream cheese icing here in the recipe files. Then you can use the same icing for making thefilling.
I make a similar cake for my MIL - I use the Crusting cream cheese icing from this site. My filling is usually just a good brand strawberry preserves but I think it would be excellent with the CCC. I can say that I absolutely did not care for this with the white 'box' cake mix. It was better with my pound cake mix.
I guess it's not the cream cheese and strawberries that don't sound good to me, it's them in combination with a plain white cake. Ick. I keep thinking along the lines of something tasting like strawberry shortcake but this isn't it. I don't know what to do. It doesn't have to be exact as this is for a corporate function, but someone said they would like to have it and I'm trying to make her happy. The CCC is what I would use but I'm not sure about the CC and strawberry mixed as a filling. Does that taste good? Oh, and can I pipe with the CCC?
I made fresh strawberry and cream cheese filling thi past weekend.
2 cups chopped strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Mix together strawberries and granulated sugar.
Let sit for at least an hour or overnight. When ready, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Drain excess liquid from the berries and fold into the cream cheese.
This was really good. I think the recipe is in the recipe section on this site.

In our family, cream cheese and strawberry fillings with either a white or chocolate cake are favorites. I normally use CK Products fillings, but have substituted a cream cheese icing and preserves for filling. If I am torting a cake, I have either two or three layers of filling ... I use one of each, or two strawberry and one cream cheese. If I am doing a sheet cake, I fill my icing bags and cut off the tip to about a size 10 or 12 round tip, then do alternating stripes on the one layer of filling.
