I have used Bettercream for filling before but want to use fresh strawberries in it. How long in advance can I fill the cake before the strawberries will change texture? Also I've filled with Bettercream but never iced, can I use the glaze technique on top of the cake, like will the Bettercream set up enough for that to work? Thanks in advance for your help.

Anyone? please help, how long can I leave fresh strawberries in the filling before they go soggy?

I have done several cakes with bettercream and strawberries and they have been fine refrigerated. I decorate 2 days in advance and never had a problem.

I've done a strawberry filling a couple of times, I got the recipe from this site. I also decorate at least two days in advance (and kept it refrigerated) and never had a problem with the strawberry taste/texture. It turned out just fine. It wasn't just strawberries though, like I said, it was a prepared filling recipe.

I'm not sure what you mean about the glazing technique so I can't help you there, sorry. Good luck with your cake!
