Hello. Please advice me. I need to fill a 4 layer cake with whipped cream and canned fruits. Its an 8 inch round.
1- should i stabilize the whipping cream?
2- should i pipe a buttercream dam to prevent the filling from bulging?
3- can i cover the outside cake with whipping cream?
4- what cake type should i use? Is it better to use a light sponge or a dense cake?
5- how should i actually fill it? Should i add a layer of whipped cream and then the fruits?
Thank you so much for any help :)
You difinately need to stablize the whipped cream in order to use it as a filling &/or icing. Yes, pipe a b'cream dam. Any kind of cake you want can be used here....sponge, pound, or fluffy. As to how to fill it...it is going to depend on what fruit you intend to use but for the most part I think mixing the fruit into the whipped cream then spreading it on the cake is best.
I actaully have never stabilized whipping cream as I never used it in decorating. I have read that gelatin is a good way to do it. Just know that many fruits have a very high water content and no matter how well you stabilize it those fruits will cause it to 'weep' a lot :(
