I am making some cupcakes this weekend that look like cherry pies & am using cherry pie filling...my question is will the cherry pie filling get yucky if these are sitting out on a table for a couple of hours? Usually around my house things like this will get eaten quickly, but this is for a family reunion & I will be arriving a couple of hours before lunch.

Thanks in advance!

I have used pie filling before and left the cake out and it was fine

With all the sugar, couple hours should be fine.

I have used pie filling in wedding cakes that sat out for hours, no problem but I usually combine the pie filling with cream cheese and a jar of marshmallow. Don't know if that helps or not

They shouldn't, no protien, and no fat they should be fine. The cake might soak up some of the filling. They sound cool hope you post pics.

Thank you so much for all the responses I am going to frost a thin layer of buttercream on top of the cupcake before I put on the pie filling....so, hopefully that will help prevent the cupcake from soaking in the filling....I'll be posting pics. tonight sometime Thanks again!

phoufer your filling sounds yummy! How much of each ingredient do you use?

1 8oz. pkg cream cheese
1 can pie filling
1 jar marshmallow

Mix cream cheese first, then add pie filling and marshmallow, mix all together. Super easy. I use raspberry pie filling, it is my most requested filling.

Thanks for sharing your recipe! It sounds so good, I'll try it for sure!
