How far in advance can I make and fill the Giant Ding Dong cake? I have a birthday party on Sunday that I am making this for and I don't want it to go bad but would like to make the cake in my own kitchen if you know what I mean. I will be traveling with the cake 2 hours on Friday. Would I be better off making the cake tonight and then keeping it chilled and then filling it and icing it on Saturday at my mom's house? What would you do?

I've never heard of a ding dong cake. What's the filling?

Here's the filling recipe that someone shared with me. I have neve made it though, so I can't offer anything other than the recipe.


DING DONG FILLING:
4 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup Crisco
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 chocolate cake, 2-layer

cook milk and flour untill thick and cool.
beat sugar and crisco 4 minutes.
add vanilla and beat 2 min more.
spread between cake layer (all of it).
then frost it with your favorite frosting and refrigate for 2 hours.

Luv2Cake,
When you say crisco do you mean oil or shortening??

I am guessing the shortening. Since I have never made this recipe, I can't say for sure, but that's what I assume it to mean when I read it.

Brandi

Yep, it is shortening. And yummy I might add.

Crisco Rules!
