I am meeting with the MOG on Sunday to discuss the groom's cake. She wants an old Chevy Pick Up made of Strawberry cake. Strawberry cake seems waaaaay so moist and crumbly to be used for a "carved" cake even covered in fondat. What are CC member's opinions?
Is there a Strawberry cake recipe or mix extender recipe that will make it more dense for this project, or should I use some other cake with Strawberry flavoring. I usually us DH Strawberry cake mix.
Please help--any advise will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Marcia |

How about a strawberry flavored poundcake? If you don't want to make it from scratch, you can use a poundcake mix and add strawberry all fruit or preserves to it, maybe a little LorAnn strawberry oil, or strawberry solo filling. I think that would be pretty good and would definitely be more sturdy. I think you could use the durable cake recipe and do the same thing. |

I was wondering if I could use a poundcake and add strawberry flavoring.
That Durable Recipe looks good,too.
I think I'll do a "test run" on both.
thanks for your suggestions, mdgqueen!  |
