I hardly comment. But this cake is sure a game changer. Thank you very much

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you! Thanks for commenting!

[@nikkimak8187]

yummy!!!! looks so good

[@monicawilson4139]

I just made it and it was delicious but I didn't like the texture after adding the starch so I used my hand blender and it came out beautifully . Thank you for a great recipe ❤

[@charitymkwezalamba4319]

Thanks, yummy. Watched once and tried for the 1st time. Came out perfect!

Hi how long this filling will last in the refrigerator?

[@avelina6143]

Made this filling for a friends birthday cake and everyone loved it!!!

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Wonderful!

[@barbararinker987]

I've never used filling in a stacked cake. Will the layers shift or does the buttercream "dam" prevent shifting? Thank you for your help.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Hi! Here’s my tutorial on how to support and stack a filled cake. Let me know if it answers all your questions kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OpkKuJfL5kh7s

[@sausanacademy]

Can you do this the same way with dried fruits?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I don’t think this recipe would have enough liquid to do it with dried fruit. I’d have to play around with adding more liquid to be sure

[@alynie11]

I made this recipe it was so yummy! Thank you for sharing it with us 🥰 can you show us how to do fresh pineapple filling.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll have to do a pineapple one!

[@alynie11]

Yes, please! Thank you 😊

[@rondabrunet9616]

Looks great. Can I use frozen strawberry for the recipe

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Yes, just use less water

[@tessaris5141]

How long can you keep this? In the fridge/freezer, but also in the cake if you make it before hand?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

It can be good in the fridge for about a week and the freezer for about three months as long as it’s well sealed. On a cake in the fridge for about 4 days but I would recommend eating it the following day.

[@joslinfarms2139]

I really enjoyed this video. Do you have a lemon curd video?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I don’t yet but I’d like to make one.

[@joslinfarms2139]

I used the strawberry recipe and it is perfect. Definitely not to sweet. My coworkers enjoyed it

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

@@joslinfarms2139 I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@yoursfaithfullychaliz7195]

would fresh cream complement this filling well?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

That would be delicious!

[@Ktjinx11]

Would one batch of this filling be enough for a 3 layer 9 inch cake?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Yes, it just depends on how thick you layer in the filling but it should be plenty

[@MannoulaElLeithy]

I like it ☺️.. thanks a lot ❤️ But I think the corn starch adds a little flavour that I can tell like pudding .. maybe it's just me 🤭😂.. but is there other way to thicken it up with no starch .. Like can I add gelatin.. and how much exactly should I add to this recipe to substitute the starch??

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I haven’t tried it with gelatin so I’d have to play around with the measurements. You don’t have to add the corn starch, it will just be runny without it and probably seep out of the cake layers.

[@Ktjinx11]

You could use Ultra Gel. It's an instant food starch that works both hot and cold and the bag has substitution directions on it for cornstarch. I find it to be flavorless and doesn't give the cloudy look that cornstarch does. The only place I've found it is Amazon.

[@Alice0030]

You can add some more sugar from the beginning and boil it longer until it gets thicker, about 20-25 min.

[@walterduran40]

What flavor of buttercream would fit well with this filling ?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Italian Meringue Buttercream or American vanilla buttercream are great

[@OneLeggedWoman]

Can you use frozen strawberries

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Yes you can. I’d cut the water in half though because the frozen strawberries will have more liquid.

[@brigettebond6088]

Can I use cake flour if I don't have cornstarch

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I haven’t experimented with that so I can’t be sure

[@donaldlong3525]

What kind of cakes do you normally use for wedding cakes

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I enjoy a nice white cake for wedding cakes.

[@donaldlong3525]

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes do you have a good Recipe for one

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

@@donaldlong3525 as funny as it is, I actually find a doctored cake mix is the best for stacking, moist, and not crumbly and still has great flavor. Here’s how I make doctored cake mixes kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5XNZGqVmt-VfdU

[@mariajosecazorladavila1606]

Hello, please help 🥺I think it's watery, but I already took it off the burner, what can I do?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

If you’ve already boiled it and then mixed the corn starch in and boiled it a little longer until it was all mixed, it should thicken up once it cools to room temperature.

[@tensleepsher]

What should you do if you think the filling is too thick?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

I try and add the cornstarch mixture a little at a time and if it seems to be thick enough, I refrain from adding anymore. Because you’re working with fresh fruit, some fruit can be more or less juicy so I do have to feel it out sometimes.

[@tensleepsher]

@@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes Thank you for the reply but I didn't realize it was too thick until it was done getting thick. Is there anything I can do now to thin it out?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

@@tensleepsher unfortunately there is not much you can do to thin it after it’s come together.

[@iyannhabrown400]

Can you buy buttercream at the store? I tried this with icing and it didn’t work.

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Here’s my recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZzdmGZ8fNuVra8 Store bought buttercream generally doesn’t taste great and is not stiff enough.

[@aimeehaas8838]

Can I use frozen raspberries instead?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Yes, I’d just cut the water in half.

[@aimeehaas8838]

[@jenniferrodgers533]

I don't like the seeds what can I do but keep the 🍓 in the filling

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

After boiling it, you can try straining it, then return it to the heat and boiling, and then add the corn starch mixture

[@helennelson2635]

Store unwashed berries in mason jars. They last longer than any other method.

[@helennelson2635]

Then mason jars w/lid I. Refrigerator

[@user-yq7zj7ij2u]

What is the ingredients??

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

It’s in the “details” below the video but I’ll copy paste them here: Strawberry Filling Recipe 1 lb fresh strawberries 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup water 3 Tablespoons corn starch

[@waiataaroha]

you over cooked the strawberries and you lost all the sauce

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

Nope. For this recipe that is the perfect consistency for a stable filling that won’t drip between layers and ruin a decorated cake and it’s delicious. But everyone has their own preferences.

[@mysweetangels4480]

Hi how long this filling will last in the refrigerator?

[@IcingOnTopBeckysCakes]

It lasts for about a week in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
