Has anyone ever used premade sleeved icing for their cakes?? I was thinking about ordering cream cheese filling for an upcoming order so that I don't have to refrigerate the cake..just wondering if they taste as good as home made??
The only sleeve filling I have tried is the raspberry. I made a lemon cake, and alternated lemon curd filling (first time I've ever made lemon curd), and raspberry from the sleeve. I thought it was very good.
Sorry, can't help with the cream cheese. Only tried the raspberry. I will be watching this though, because I'm interested in knowing what others say on this topic. I'm sure some of the more "filling experienced" will come on and help you in a quick minute, though. ![]()
HI,
I've used cream cheese, strawberry, vanilla and chocolate.
they are all great, and would recommend them.
saves a lot of time and trouble.

I've purchased pineapple and coconut. I threw the pineapple away, it didn't taste good to me and the coconut I doctored. I will make all homemade fillngs from now on. The sleeve stuff saves time but in my opinion doesn't compare very well next to my homemade.
I'd try it definitely beforehand. There are some that I like and some that I don't. Our cake store has a chocolate sleeve that is the nastiest thing ever - tastes more like fermented figs or something. I liked the strawberry one I tried, but they sell one in a tub I like even better.
I've used strawberry and lemon. I mixed them with buttercream icing and absolutely loved the result. I dont like them alone but mixed with the icing they came out pretty good. Our local party store carries them so I dont have to order them.
The fruit flavors are great. I use the lemon for lemon meringue pie! The other fruit flavors are even good to fill thumbprint cookies.
I use the sleeve fillings all.the.time. I really like the strawberry and lemon. I'm not a fan of the bav/ choc bav cream, but everyone else seems to love it!!
