in Old style MoneySaving
I am making a cake for my DD2's birthday on Sunday and althoughI have the cake planned out (i.e what shape how to ice etc) I am at a loss as to what to put in it! The trouble being she is not a fan of buttercream and she does not really like cream whipped either. I was going to put jam in with something else but I don't know what!! Any ideas, bear in mind she is only 4. Thanks for any help.

    Lemon curd would be nice for me but maybe not a 4 year old :)

    Cream cheese frosting? Icing sugar, cream cheese and a little milk to soften the consistency.

    Someone brought a chocolate cake into work that had been filled with whipped creme fraiche. A little icing sugar had been mixed in to sweeten it and then crushed tinned mandarins added. It was delicious.

    Thanks for that, sounds a bit like a light cheese cake filling, and that will probably appeal (she loves HM cheesecake!).
