I have never made one, so I thought I would ask the experts here.. do you have a good praline filling that you'd be willing to share?
TIA for any help!!
There's an idea.. I'll have to try it out. Thanks! 
Praline Filling
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
dash of salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (or use kentucky bourbon whiskey...yum)
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add brown sugar and salt; bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in milk. Bring mixture to a boil, and let boil for 2 minutes or until 232 degrees.
Remove praline mixture from heat. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla; beat with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth.
LOL...I guess it is important to let you know to add 1 cup of finely chopped Pecans...hahahahahaaa!
Throw in some blanched almonds for a nice twist!
oooh.. thank you desert diva *bows to you*.. that sounds great!!!!!!
Must try this in next cake I make.. darn.. another excuse to make a cake. 
oh and any particular time in the recipe you should add those pecans?
Sounds good, do you know what size cake this recipe would yield?
whoops...
Add the pecans in at the same time you add in the milk and then follow directions.
This worked great for a 10 in round cake for me...with a smidge leftover. I also use this as a filling for a really good raspberry almond thumbprint cookie!
