I have two questions please: Does any one know how many Cups or ounces one batch of this recipe makes? Also, I noticed someone said it has to be refrigerated but not sure why as no other recipe nor ones purchased at wholesale providers needs to be refrigerated after filling a cupcake? Thanks so much for your time and assistance. -
Could i use gelatin instead of corn starch?

Can I use flour instead of cornstarch? -
i actually have 2 questions: ~ how much does this make? ~ does it need to stay refrigerated? most of the other recipes ive looked at require refrigeration even after spreading between the cakes - which i cant do because my cake frosting cant be refrigerated .. -
Just made this and the flavor is just perfect! My only question is how long can I keep it refrigerated for?

Excellent flavor (just sweet enough to let you know its there). Once cooled filling spreads evenly, Very easy to make, a PERFECT filling for your layer cake it was a tremendous hit!!!! Many thanks to you for posting. THANKS, Steve

This recipe as written had great consistency, and I am sure if your strawberries are sweet it tastes great too. My strawberries were frozen from my garden and were quite tart...even adding extra sugar didn't help, so after making the original recipe I ended up adding a package of strawberry jello mixed with 1/4 cup of boiling water and a splash of corn syrup and that fixed the taste and added a little extra firmness from the jello. It was perfect with "White wedding cake" I made it with. -
5 stars!! Perfect filling! I posted a picture of a chocolate cake I made with it! Yummy!!!! -
This is my new go-to recipe for whenever I need strawberry filling for a dessert! It was super easy and was great. Used it to fill some store-bought cakes and topped it with fresh whipped cream for a simple summer dessert. -
Love it!!! tastes good on top of cheesecake cupcakes!!!
