How Do I Put A Filling In A Cake???

You can pipe a 'dam' of icing around the edges of the layers to hold the filling inside the cake. You may want to use a thick BC for this. If you're worried about the cake getting mushy, you can put a thin layer of BC on the cake before you add the filling.
A) Put a dam around the inside edge of the surface which will hold the filling -- this acts as a barrier to keep it from blowing out the sides.
B) when dealing with fruit fillings which tend to be very liquidy, I use a small, thin layer. Too much of a liquidy center will cause your cake to slide too. Sometimes I mix buttercream with the fruit filling to make it more stable.
Hope that helps answer your question. 
split layers. dam. put pudding inside dam. place layer on top. dam. put pudding inside dam. place layer on top. dam. put pudding inside dam. place layer on top. press down lightly and evenly. ice cake. decorate if desired.
i have used the snack pack puddings. nice individual portions. no waste and it's shelf stable.
the inside of the dam is about an inch from the outside edge of the cake. the outside of the dam is about a 1/2 inch from the outside of the cake. I use the coupler without a tip. make sure, when you fill, you don't go higher than the dam...slightly below....when you press lightly, you will be pressing the dam to the edge of the cake....with any luck, that is.
I know this may be late but better late than never.....I use whipped topping in with my pudding just to firm it up alittle, so it's not as thin so my cake won't slide.
