Okay, I'm so new to this. I never take wedding cake orders but agreed to this one since she wants very simple design. But we were discussing fillings and neither of us really knew what we were talking about as far as using more than one filling in a cake. She said that she may want this (as in one slice of cake may have two different fillings if its a 3 layer cake)

Is this popular? If so, any ideas for fillings for chocolate cake that compliment each other? Thanks for any help!!!

I'm not sure if it's popular but maybe raspberry filling in the center tort between the two cakes and then Bavarian Cream for the outside two or vise versa. If you do the bavarian cream though, make sure you use double the sugar and vanilla and add more yolks accordinglly. Also, you will have to refrigerate the cakes so make sure you have the room for that too.

I often have requests for two fillings in one cake. Bavarian cream and strawberry are great together - that's how I do my version of cassata cake. icon_smile.gif

You could go with a dark whipped chocolate ganache and cream cheese filling. Very rich, but good. French Buttercream and Almond BC.

Hi there! I am new to the site. Where I work it is very common to have multiple fillings in one cake. The best is the bavarian cream and fresh strawberry combo. jko icon_biggrin.gif

That is neat sounding combo! although I use pastry bavariam cream, as it doesn't require refridgeration. Does it have the same affect?

Mine is premade bavarian cream that I buy from my supplier. It doesn't require refrigeration and tastes great.

I buy the pastry sleeves at my local cake supply store. They are wonderful, comes in many different flavors and best of all they do not require refrigeration.

Cool! This is something I gotta try! (I have done multiple layers in the same tier, using chocolate and bav cream, but never strawberry!)
