Hi. I am going to attempt a TT cake for my son's fourth birthday. I really have no idea what I'm doing, so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am thinking about doing the cake like this:
Bottom tier - chocolate cake with chocolate cheesecake filling
and top tier - Banana cake with coconut cream cheese filling
with Buttercream Frosting.
I don't even know if these are good combination's to use and if the filling will work with this kind of cake. I am really clueless...so if anyone could let me know if this sounds like it would work or not, I would love some advice.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the replies.
idgalpal....The cake will be eaten by kids and adults at the party.
Kakeladi.....I think I'll go with your suggestion of choco w/icing filling and a vanilla with fruit filling. For the choco filling, should I use chocolate icing for the filling or something else like chocolate pudding? And, any fruit suggestions for the vanilla cake? Again, I'm pretty clueless. I've never used fruit filling before so I don't even know where to start. I hope you guys don't mind answering my questions.
For the fruit filling, you could try the premade ones they sell at cake decorating suppliers. I've heard of many other decorators using these, so they must be pretty good. There are several different flavors, and it would save you the time of preparing something yourself. Or try looking at the filling recipes on here that have been used by decorators on CC. And pretty much anything will go with vanilla, fruitwise.
Keep in mind, if you're using perishable fillings it will need to be refrigerated...and do you have the room in the fridge for the cake.
If you're using pudding, it is softer so make sure your dam is thick to support it.
The fruit filling sleeves are good, the chocolate and bavarian...not so much IMO.
