A good Cake Filling is magic. As the Fairy Godmother always says - it's just a 'flick of the wrist'! Take your cakes from good to truly memorable with just a few swipes of your spatula.

With just a few good base recipes you have hundreds of different filling options at your fingertips ?

Easy additions are the key. A dash of spice here, a sprinkle of cookie crumbs there and a simple buttercream is transformed into something entirely unexpected.

Think of it like accessorizing an outfit - you start with good basics and add accents to make it something really special.

I'm always adding new cake filling ideas, but if the one you're looking for isn't here yet, just drop me a line and I'll get right on it!

There's really only three basic Cake Filling recipes you need:

Just think of each recipe as a technique rather than a blueprint. You'll come up with your own great variations easily.

Buttercream is basically a light, creamy frosting made from softened butter or vegetable shortening, powdered confectioners sugar and flavorings.

If you've only ever had commercial buttercream on a sheet cake from your local supermarket then you're in for a treat.

Armed with the basic recipe and an ever growing list of flavor additions, you'll never look at this super versatile filling the same way again!

Chocolate Ganache is made from chocolate, cream and sometimes butter.

Seems simple but believe me, once you've tried ganache there's no going back to regular chocolate filling or frosting.


cream cheese filling

Cream Cheese Filling is rich, creamy concoction of butter, powdered confectioners sugar and cream cheese.

It's a little less sweet than chocolate ganache or buttercream, but no less decadent.

Sure, you've seen it used in Carrot Cake and Red Velvet Cake, but it really does wonders for almost any style of cake. Think Coconut Cream Cake with Mango Cheesecake filling. And that's just the beginning!
