To find out how many pounds of cake fillings Peter makes in 35 minutes, we first need to calculate his production rate:

Peter makes \( \frac{12}{3} \) pounds of cake fillings per minute.

Calculating \( \frac{12}{3} \):

\[
\frac{12}{3} = 4 \text{ pounds per minute}
\]

Now, to find out how many pounds he makes in 35 minutes, we multiply the rate by the amount of time:

\[
4 \text{ pounds/minute} \times 35 \text{ minutes} = 140 \text{ pounds}
\]

Therefore, the total pounds of cake fillings Peter will make in 35 minutes is \( \boxed{140} \).
