I'm in search of a good strawberry filling recipe. The only ones I can find on the net use whipping cream and I'm afraid of it melting out of my cake, since it's so hot here in Florida. Something like a jam or like Publix uses. Thanks

Here is one that I use and NO WHIPPING CREAM in it. I love it. This wont ooze out.

2 C Strawberries cut into small pieces (I use fresh)
3/4 C Granulated Sugar
1 C Water
3 Tablespoons Corn Startch

Put all into sauce pan. Let boil. Add corn startch--you will have to mix the corn starch in. By adding the corn starch this will thicken the sauce. Once it is boiling and the sauce is thick let cool. I leave mine alone about 20 minutes then put on cake or fill cc's.

This is very easy to do.

I wish I could find the link, but there's a lady on here "mamajan61" that has the best strawberry filling recipe I've ever used in my career. If you could find her I'm sure she would share her recipe with her due to the fact that she shared it with me and now, ALL my customers want that strawberry filling. Even in the heat this is AWESOME!!! and it honestly tastes like you've put fresh strawberries in the cake.. Look her up. She's got the recipe that will make your cakes pop!~

I use the rasp. filling recipe from here and just sub. for strawberries. I love it b/c it's nice and thick. You don't even need a layer of buttercream before you put it on the cake!

Thanks for the recipes and the tips!

i use a recipe from this site by txdiann (i omit the kirsh and it still works fine) and everyone i have ever made it for loves it!

Do these fillings (and the cake, of course) need to be refrigerated once put in the cake? Thanks.

I dont put mine in the frig and it comes out fine. I put the filling on the cake once it's cool, and the crumb coat it. Never had a problem with it "going bad".

The one I use doesn't have to be refridgerated, but I always do anyway, just because I like cakes better cold

i have never refrigerated the cakes after filling and they turn out fine. but i will say that the filling can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and gets better (in my opinion) with time.
