Let's Talk Filling

Filling seems to be a personal reference. Some people don't even think of having filling in a cake until I ask. It seems it is very uncommon in some parts of the country. I know that as a kid my mom just put buttercream between layers of a cake. Now though we can fill them with just about everything and anything you can think of. I think it adds a lot of flavor and fun to a cake.

I have a list of fillings on my website and a few of them came about because someone asked about them. I love that because then I have a reason to test recipes and come up with new cake fillings, (works for cakes too!). One of my most popular fillings is the Whipped Strawberry filling which is made with fresh whipped cream and strawberry preserves. A lot of people like to also layer fresh strawberry slices on top of that. YUM

Get creative when you are looking at those fillings! I think layering them in fun. How about Chocolate Mousse with Ganache drizzled over it? Or White Chocolate Mousse with fresh strawberry slices? Let me know what your favorite combinations are or maybe one you would like to try.

Be Sweet!
