I've heard of champagne cakes, but never champagne fillings! The only thing I can think of is using a champagne flavouring in a buttercream (SMBC probably for lightness). Has anyone else heard of/made a champagne filling?

i hope someone knows the answer to this, it sounds interesting and tasty.

THe only thing I have ever done is replace my liquids with alcohol. Have you ever used Grand marnier in a cake? It is fabulous.

No, I've never made it or heard of it but I don't get out much either. Playing off tesso's replacing of liquid for alcohol, would one be able to make IMBC with champagne instead of water when making the syrup?

I made a Cheerwine cake with Cheerwine buttercream by boiling down a 2 liter bottle of soda to condense the flavor then, added the condensed liquid/syrup as part of the liquid called for in my yellow cake. I wouldn't hesitate to try to make IMBC with champagne as the liquid instead of water ooooooooor making SMBC and using concentrated champagne as the flavoring...which, I reckon would be the same as champagne flavoring.

YUM! I love Cheerwine and that sounds delicious to me!!!

I'd never tasted it until I got that request. I loooooooooooove all the fizz!

why don't you suggest champagne cake and icing and a orange curd so that it is more like a mimosa

when I make champagne cake, it is done like the bakeries in my area.. vanilla chiffon cake.. take some pastry cream, add some sherry (yes sherry) and then add some whipped cream to it, so u are lightening up the custard.. its delish..

I can't do anything that needs to be refrigerated - don't have the room. Only room temp stable fillings.

If you use sleeve fillings u can use the bavarian one. And add the liquor

I made champagne cake with champagne BC. I just replaced the liquid for flat champagne. It was good.
