My Dad wants me to make a carrot cake with cream cheese icing for my aunt.
What kind of filling would you use? Or would you use cream cheese.
This would be the first time that I would be using any kind of
fillings in my cakes. Is there a crusting cream cheese recipe that I could use? And is it possible to make roses out of it
or should I do buttercream or maybe fondantroses?
Any help would be great. Thanks

if there is pineapple in the carrot cake, make a pineapple filling or a cream cheese filling flavored with pineapple
if you make the cream cheese icing stiff enough, you could make the decorations out of it


If you're looking for ideas, and not specific recipes, Costco uses an apricot filling in their carrot cakes, which sounds interesting.


Here's the cake recipe that I use:

Here's the frosting recipe that I use:

Everyone loves this combination.

I would try to do a pineapple creamcheese filling. I think that would be super yummy.
I want to make carrot cake now!!

Costco does an apricot mouse, it is soooo good inside a carrot cake


opps, i meant mousse not mouse....GEEZ!
lol! That could go along with the fish cake that I just read about on the forums!
"And if you wish to utterly astound your guests, we offer mice and fish cakes..." yummy!


this is a filling i use at times in my carrot cakes.. 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple.. 3/4-1 cup of sugar.. 2 tsp. of real lemon juice.(roll the lemon).. 1 TBS. of cornstarch... stir.. bring this to a lite boil.. for about 5 minutes.. stirring all the time.. set aside.. i use real orange juice(roll the oranges) and orange zest in my regular cream cheese icing recipe.. it is really good . my mama use to make pineapple filling like i have here.. it is really good..


You can use cream cheese buttercream as a filling. I really like Toba Garretts Cream Cheese buttercream recipe.

Did you find it to be rather thin in consistency?
