You can use the ssme fillings for a fondant cake as for a buttercream one, as long as you use a sturdy dam around the edges to keep the filling from seeping our.

Lemon or lime curd, caramel, strawberry jam, crushed candy bars, the world is your oyster!

As Sandra said almost anything on the thick side can be used.  Jams, jellies, crushed candy or cookies (any kind/flavor) can be mixed w/b'cream for a different taste.  One of the most requested I used was the Henry & Henry's sleeved Bavarian Creme.....I love it :)  Then add in any of the above items and it's totally different.   It takes a thick jam - like Smucker's Simply Fruit - so it doesn't leak.    Recently I made an apple cinnamon cake and used applesauce straight from the jar...it was too wet and leaked :(  But I bet if you put it in a strainer for a few minutes and let some of that apple juice drain it'd be fine.  Think of all the fruit jams around....apricot; apricot/pinapple; cherry; fig; raspberry; choco hazlenut (Nutella); oh my we could go on all day with the many choices that can be used.

Thank you! I use lemon custard  fillings and it worked great with unfondont cake.

i am think to used Rasberry jam, how I should used as filling in the cake where I am going to put the fondant.  I just want to put different layer stuff of jams in the layers of cake, and of course i am doing coating with butter cream on the cake that will be covered with fondant.

You can use anything for a filling as long as you make a nice, stiff dam of buttercream to prevent seepage.

As Sandra said, just pipe a ring of b'cream (use tip 12) around the edges of the cake then fill w/the jam.  Be sure you don't use so much jam as to be higher than the line of b'cream.
