This filling was just what I was looking for. My daughter and I made a 9" round cake and divided each of the 2 roud cakes so that we had 4 layers. We put the strwaberry filling between each of the layers and still had a bit for her to munch on! :-) It was super fresh and gave our cake such a delicious flavor. We will use this again.

Delicious! Made a few changes- used thawed frozen strawberries, crushed in blender; and used strawberry gelatin because I couldn't find unflavored in our small town; And added about a cup of whipping cream! Turned out wonderfully creamy. Put inside a yellow cake. YUMMY!

Very good! I doubled this recipe for a 13 x 18 inch cake, and it turned out great. Very easy and tasted yummy - just like creamy fresh strawberries. Not too sweet, which was perfect. And it set beautifully - really stood up to the weight of the top layer of cake. I piped a border of icing around the perimeter of the bottom layer, spread the filling on, set the top layer down, and filled in the rest of the gap between the icing border and the top cake layer with icing, forming a complete wall of icing. I had no problems with the filling smooshing out. Thank you so much for the recipe!!:)

I just made this for a triple layer vanilla cake for a wedding shower at my father in law's workplace. It is already to die for! I think I'll make this or substitute blueberries for our reveal party (sex of our baby) I am planning in September. I bet blueberries, peaches or banana would be other great fruits to substitute. I can't wait to hear the reviews I get on this cake. This is so worth making verses that pre made stuff you can get at a bake shop. I can't wait to post a pic of this and the cake!
