Hello to everyone. I have some questions
Does anybody knows non perishable fillings recipes? it just that the most or all the recipes that I have found are made with buttercream, half and half or have eggs or milk. I guess this wont last more than a day in the counter..??? ( I had the great idea once to use a chocolate ganache as a filling an it where hot those days can you imagine what happens?) I usally use fondant to cover my cakes and I can´t put them on the fridge or the colors will turn a mess it takes me like two to three days to put a one layer cake together and I always try to do them the closer to the date I can, so they can be fresh.
With all this questions ... I wonder you guys who made wedding cakes of 4 and 5 layers (fondant)and have a lot of scrolls or details and they have those yummy fillings made with fruit how do you do??? how long it takes you to usually make one of those beautiful cake??
Im so far have just make cakes for my daughter birthday and my niece 15 years ( three layer cake) and I usually runing around finishing details to the last minute so stressfull but i love it icon_lol.gif
If anyone can help or give advice or have a non perishable recipe I will be thankfull

Use the filling sleeves from your local cake store..........they have several flavors.......Strawberry, Raspberry, Apricot, Apple, Cream Cheese, Bavarian Cream, Chocolate Bavarian Cream, lemon...........there are more..........these can sit out in a cake for several days without spoiling, as can BC icing.

bittersweet chocolate ganache (it wont melt as quickly as a whipped milk or white chocolate ganache.)

italian meringue buttercream (flavored with fruit purees, chocolate, espresso,liquors etc)

the addition of liquors to fruit purees and ganaches helps prolong the shelf life (not more than 2- 3 days at most), as well as enhance the flavors tremendously. two that i have used many times are raspberry chambord and amaretto. delicious in small amounts, not nearly enought to make any one concerned.

i dont do these ALL the time, but quite often i have tiered cakes to do. i commit one full day of baking, chill the cakes over night and then assemble and decorate for another entire day OR pull a serious all nighter with lots of coffee or red bull energy drinks handy. it is typical for me to spend 12+ hours on a tiered or sculpted cake, upwards of around 30 hours. keep your kitchen cool (70) and work fast.

Here's a link to them from Country Kitchens: http://www.countrykitchensa.com/catalog/SearchResults.aspx?description=filling&page=-1

I get mine from my local cake decorating store and prefer the Henry & Henry brand.
