I'm making my own wedding cake (and yes, everyone thinks I'm crazy) about 2 days before the wedding. Covering in fondant since it's an outdoor wedding in June in Arizona and I don't want the icing to melt. I need recipes for fillings that won't go bad if they siit out 2-3 days. I've tried looking on the forum for post, but don't have the time to look through ALL of the pages of posts.

Buttercream is the only filling that I sit out...but I've heard you can get store bought fillings-- like raspberry or lemon or whatever at cake decorating stores/websites that don't require refrigeration.

I haven't tried it, but wouldn't you be able to use canned pie filling. You would mix it with buttercream and that would be a tasty treat - I would imagine.

You can try fruit preserves, and you can mix those with buttercream to make it a creamier filling. Nutella is very good. Those are my favorite fillings for summer, I don't have to worry about them when its hot outside.

i like the idea of bc mixed with fruit perserve. My fiance doesn't want a fruit filled cake, but maybe the mix would be okay. Thanks

You could also go with the premade pudding too! I know that is an extra expense but since you buy them at room temp means you can store or eat them at that temp! HTH

Those are some great ideas. I am going to have to try the pie filling.

I definitely recommend the sleeved fillings at cake shops...shelf-stable for 5 days...

Go to Christy's Cake's Supplies in Mesa, or ABC Cake Supplies in Phoenix--- They have a huge variety of the sleeve pastry fillings that don't need to be refidgerated..a ton of fruit fillings, bavarian creams etc.....

Wow, darlene_000, thanks. I wasn't expecting local shops. That's wonderful. I haven't lived in Az long and haven't had a chance to check out the local places.

Christy's Cake Supplies is on Main St, just East of Country Club in Mesa. Christy is so friendly, her website is:
