try mixing it with some buttercream or if you are using a whipping cream mix it with that. YUMMMMY. also you can mix it wth fresh cut strawberries. just some ideas.

shazanna has a good idea. i did a rasberry filled vanilla cake that called for preserves. if i had mixed it with the buttercream, it would have stayed together much better. i wouldn't use only preserves again.

good luck!

I've used it without mixing it with anything and it has been great. Just make sure you dam it so your sides don't leak.

I always add a very thin layer of BC on the bottom then the jam(i have only used raspberry) and a very small about of bc on top that . I thin my bc so it goes on very easy. the cake doesnt slide and it looks great when you cut into it!

If you are going to add it to the buttercream, I suggest you also add some more powedered sugar to thicken the buttercream up. I added it to buttercream and it made my buttercream too runny and made the top layer slide when I was trying to ice it. Next time I will add powdered sugar to thicken the layer up some.

Same here!! I put it in a bowl and mix it up a little bit to make it all smootha and just put it on the cake. I've never had any problems.

When using jam alone, I find it absorbs into the cake layers a bit. If you want a thick layer, you might want to mix with something.
