Do you all really like the fruit sleeves?? Maybe its the brand I got. It is called red raspberry and I think it is used for pastries and danishes. It has a lot of "stuff" in it. I was going to use fresh, but I really wanted to leave it out for a day or two. I am also using sugarshacks bc mixed with either lemon oil or lemon curd if I have to refrig.

My question is do you all like the taste - haven't opened it yet and ..

Is yours thick. I'm nervous that even if I dam it it is still to runny.

Thoughts???

I know this is an old post but it was one of the top results when i googled "fruit sleeves"

what exactly are fruit sleeves? is it just that canned fruit pie/pastry filling stuff?

I wanted to make some cake balls and want to do a chocolate raspberry filling. but I have some homemade raspberry jam i was thinking of using. Obviously guessing it should be refridgerated. Using a fruit sleeve would i be able to not need refridgeration? just curious.

Sleeved fillings do not need refrigeration.

They are plastic sleeves of various flavored fillings. They are great in cakes along with a variety of other baked goods and they don't have to be refrigerated.

Here's a pic of one that I found online:

How do you store the leftover filling, and how long is it good for? I don't make that many cakes, and I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

I put my leftovers in a snap-n-seal container, put it in the fridge and it lasts pretty much forever. I go through enough of it that it doesn't sit in my fridge for more than a few weeks. icon_smile.gif

I used the fruit sleeves all the time! Customers love it! Once opened they can last 3-6 months in the refrigerator. Each sleeve contains approx. 3 cups. A great way to use up some of the leftovers is to fill some cupcakes! These have become a big hit with my clients. HTH

Nope! Assuming it's the same sleeved filling at pictured on page one, you only really need to refrigerate after it's been opened. Just dump the excess into a container and pop in the fridge. icon_smile.gif

HTH!
