Whats the filling?

[amu]

Does anyone please have a recipe for the kind of mock cream filling that is often found in finger doughnuts, Devonshire splits and cakes of a similar nature. It's not a basic butter cream as it's much lighter in texture than that and the colour is always really white. Thanks.

I think it could be Chantilly cream. http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/ild/2003/110 3/cream.html

I could be wrong but I have a sneaky suspicion they probably buy it in powdered form much like Birds Dream Topping.

Yes peapod I totally agree there! Just not sure if you can buy that kind of thing in the supermarket (never looked though!)

Think that you may be right Pea Pod as it tastes the same where ever you buy the cakes. Thanks for the thought about Chantilly cream sunflower 68, but i know it wouldn't involve anything in the fresh cream line as these products are always just on the shelf,not in the chiller cabinet. Shouldn't even really be asking for a recipe as the amount of grease on the bag that they come in, should be enough to tell me ........ a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!!
