I have read several made-from-scratch strawberry filling recipes. But I'm curious, if I mix a batch of DH strawberries n cream icing with some strawberry jam/presevers do you think this would be OK?

The filling would be for a four layer wedding cake...

Thank you for your input!

I have never used canned frosting before,( assuming the DH stands for Duncan Hines) but I do buy the bucket of Sams Buttercream and mix sleeved strawberry filling together, turns out great, I also add a little strawberry extract as well.
Edited to say...even better is the Rich's Frozen Bettercreme and sleeved strawberry filling!

I used the strawberry Smuckers perserves with my buttercream and used that for a filling. Everyone that ate it loved it.

I used fresh strawberries, blended in a magic bullet to make buttercream frosting. It was heavenly.

Would this have to be refridgerated? I've only used preserves because most of my cakes sit out...I've always wanted to try fresh though!

The cake can sit out, but just put it in the fridge for when you're finished serving it. Turns out great everytime! Fresh all the way for me! Try it out and see the difference it makes. Good luck!

I have mixed the canned frosting with preserves and it works great as a filling. I have also mixed it with my regular buttercream as well.

Last week I made a batch of SMBC with sweetened berry purée (frozen berries, thawed and blended with sugar syrup). Ooh la laaaaaa.
I used it to top some cupcakes for my mom's group ( I am quite popular with them icon_wink.gif ) but I would love to find that as a filling in a regular cake, white or chocolate...

Has anyone added orange marmalade to their buttercream? I am considering doing this for the filling of an orance creamsicle cake, but wondering if its a good idea, or not.

These all sound yummy! Those of you who use fresh berries, does the juice from the berries cause any problems with the buttercream?

This sounds good! Do you mix it with your BC or do you just use it alone as a filling?

you mentioned using DH canned icing... I wouldn't use any canned icing personally. I tried it not long ago trying to take a short cut since it was just for kids, but the stuff tasted nasty! I guess I've gotten used to homemade icing, plus it's way too soft.

I've just taken some of my buttercream that is stiff and added strawberry or raspberry preserves to it.

I used a jar of strawberry ice cream topping added some homemade buttercream, YUM! I put way too much between my layers and it leaked out of the sides, but once it crusted it was fine and I put fondant over it, no problem!

thank you so much for all the great posts. I ended up just using the preserve for my test cake but I think for the real deal I will use it with buttercream for an added oomph!
