Can I ask, for my daughters cake ( it's on Saturday yikes) She wants a moist red cherry filling for the white cake..... Someone suggested a cherry pie filling.... I am wondering if a filling can be too moist? I am also using chocolate ganache... Is there a way I can stop the filling seeping through the sponge?
My daughter wants the following flavours and fillings, do ou think they might be a bit too much?
Bottom layer 8" White cake, with dark chocolate ganache and cherry filling.
Top layer, strawberry cake with white chocolate ganache filling.
Both layers to be covered and decorated with fondant...
Anne
Yes. Use whatever directions are on the package to get one envelope or at least 1T to bloom, then stir that into the filling. Once it chills a little, you'll see that it doesn't take much - and you can always add more. Powdered gelatin just seems to not affect taste the way that cornstarch, powdered sugar or tapioca would.
I think those flavors sound excellent together, she has great taste! Think about those choc. covered cherries they sell, only, in a cake. And strawberry and white chocolate, very light.
Honestly my only concern ever about ganache with white cake is if the white cake recipe is flavorFUL enough to stand up to the ganache; I've had some great white cakes that, when tried w/leftover choc., you could only taste the chocolate --i.e. the cake was just too light in flavor. To which I say, actually, who cares? (lol I'm a chocoholic).
Let us know how it turns out, yumm..
Thanks girls....

Please do look and comment for me... I knw there are a lot of flaws and would love any advice!!!

I never see flaws when I see and know a cake is made with love.
This is such a beautiful cake and the colors flow together so well. Great job on the fairy and I love how you did the wing's. And it sounds scrumptious! Perfect flavor combo. Again great job! ![]()
I think that your cake is beautiful. I would love to hear how the cake tasted. Like everyone else, the combination sounded delicious. You should be very proud of that cake. I really think it is special that all of your children had a hand in making the daisies.
