I'm completely brain damaged and completely out of ideas. What filling should I make for white cake at my bridal tasting this weekend? I try to offer a wide variety of cakes, fillings and frostings, and I'm out of ideas.
I'm making:
white chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream and raspberry curd filling.
Butter pound cake with pistachio cream filling and frangelico meringue buttercream
spice cake with lemon curd and cream cheese icing
vanilla bean marscapone cheesecake in fondant served with montmercy cherry sauce
chocolate cake filled with dulche de leche and toasted pecans with dark chocolate ganache
chocolate cake with homemade strawberry jam, in a chocolate fondant basket with chocolate covered strawberries
so white do I do with a sour cream based white cake that's different ?
hmmm, how about a mango mousse? or maybe tiramisu? you could do the white cake soaked w/ kahula-laced syrup filled with cream cheese icing? i am also a big fan of curds, maybe a pineapple or orange, or even something with blueberry. the blue/white combo is striking, looks great plated.
which white cake recipe are you using? 
Those flavors all sound AMAZING!!! <wiping the drool off my chin> I'm with dailey ... my vote is for a key lime curd or something blueberry. I'm already married, but can I sneak in for the tasting?! 
Mmmmm...Dailey has the right idea!! I was thinking maybe a white peach mousse (drool)

oh, i just remebered some more! i see you don't have coconut listed, i love a good raspberry & coconut filling. also, i love cheesecake so i made a cheesecake filling once for my white cake by using my favorite cheesecake recipe. i put it in my mixer with some sweetened blueberry puree and made "blueberry cheesecake filling". i also made recently a recipe from the foodnetwork, "mexican hot chocolate buttercream". very good with just a hint of heat. lastly, you could do something simple like SMBC with some Bailey's liquor mixed in or maybe even Chambord (one of my favorites).
Wow! I do many cake tastings & I only offer french vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. Period. It's free. They don't get to try every thing I make! I have never had any complaints!
Hey, all, thanks for the help. I just finished a huge marathon of work culminating in our quarterly tasting. In the end, I just didn't have any more time, so I filled it with the same vanilla pastry cream I used for the mini fruit tarts. So it was was vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. Boring, yes I know, bet they had 6 cakes plus :
Mini cannoli
fruit tatlettes
pecan pie bars
chocolate cream puffs
passion fruit meringue pies
mini creme brulees
raspberry mousse in chocolate cups
I came home, crashed and slept took a four hour nap.
oh, and I used this recipe with vanilla+ almond extract.
8 oz Sour cream
¼ c Milk
1 c Butter -- softened
2 c Sugar
4 Eggs
2 ¾ c Flour
2 ts Baking powder
½ ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
1 ts Amaretto
Or 1 tsp almond extract
Combine sour cream and milk (Or strained yogurt and milk.) Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between additions. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to creamed butter alternately with sour cream/milk mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla and amaretto or almond extract. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks. Cool completely before frosting.

thanks for posting this recipe, sounds wonderful! i'm assuming its a heavier, dense cake due to the sour cream and milk?
ME TOOOOOOO!!!! Where was that sampling again!!!! All of those sound sooooooooooo good!!! 
I agree on the tiramisu.....I made that one for a bridal show this past January, and it is one of my most popular (and most expensive, to say the least) flavors. People were going crazy over it. It is not hard to do in cake form, as opposed to lady finger form.
HOwever, I think you have plenty of excellent choices!!
