Notes

Tammy’s Tips

"Have fun mixing your favorite flavors together for this cake! I think peach filling would be delicious with vanilla pudding!" If you want a more intense flavor, you can match the pudding flavor to your pie filling (like chocolate pudding with cherry filling), or keep it classic with vanilla or cheesecake pudding to let the fruit shine.
