...a good pineapple filling that won't melt in the June heat? I have a bride that wants a Sour Cream cake with a pineapple filling. The cake is due in two weeks, and it will be an outside wedding. I'm looking for a pineapple filling basically that won't need to be refrigerated and will stand up to stacking. (It's a 3 tier stacked design.)

The sleeved pastry fillings don't require refrigeration.

I would use the strawberry butter cream recipe on the recipe site and substitute pineapple preserves for the strawberry preserves. It will hold up well in heat and tastes delicious! I could eat it just by itself.

lutie, if you enjoy preserves and b/c you might really like using "icing fruit":

. . . thanx so much for tracking those threads down for me . . . my curiosity is piqued . . . I really must try to find a supplier locally, but would even pay shipping costs as this sounds delish . . . thanx again JanH for the 411

Thanks! Do you think I could get them by the 24th if I ordered them today? That's only ten days. I think I may be stuck just making something instead of ordering it.

Thanks, Jan H.! I looked at that site and I am verrrrrry interested. It is great that you shared it with me
