I'm contemplating this one and really need your opinions... I've got a two-tier shower cake for Sunday 11am delivery. I MUST be somewhere all day and night Saturday and was planning on making and refrigerating the cake Friday. Now my customer wants fresh strawberries and fresh banana fillings...Are my strawberries and bananas going to be mush by the time I delivery on Sunday if I make on Friday and refrigerate? Suggestions?
Thanks!

I think it is too early for the berries, they will bleed, and the bananas will start to turn.

I agree, I too think that is too early for a fresh fruit filling. It may turn to mush and also soak into the cake too much and turn it to mush.

Sorry, I have to agree. I wouldn't risk it. Can you imagine cutting into the cake to have mushy strawberries and black bananas? I think I would suggest a banana flavored custard topped with strawberry filling.
