I am making a cake for my son's first birthday this weekend and was looking for filling ideas. The only thing I have used before is buttercream and dulce de leche for a german chocolate cake. So I have no idea what fillings go with what. I am going to make one chocolate cake and one strawberry and thought this would be a good time to try fillings? I would love any suggestions. Thank you

For kids parties, I like chocolate chip buttercream in chocolate cakes-- I use the mini chocolate chips! (add a little peppermint extract for mint chocolate chip, but that's usu. more popular with older kids!) --
I also love chocolate mousse filling, you can make it with instant pudding, just substitute heavy cream for the milk- very good! (but needs refrigeration). Whipped ganache takes a little longer but is always great!
Simple whipped cream frosting is always good in strawberry cake!! You could add a glaze of pureed frozen strawberries along with it! Good luck! :O)
For strawberry:
vanilla buttercream or Polaner All Fruit strawberry preserves. Maybe cream cheese buttercream, white chocolate or lemon accented buttercream? white chocolate or dark chocolate ganache?
for Chocolate:
ganache, raspberry or strawberry preserves, peanut butter buttercream, nutella, cherry preserves......

There are a ton of cake and filling recipes. The only one I tried was the Praline Pecan Filling. It was really really sweet. Hope this helps.
