I love all the different shapes everyone has come up with. From the burgers to the Elmo cakes. Just wondering what cake recipe works best to be sturdy enough to shape. thanks |

Welcome aboard Jtallen4!
As for sculpted cakes, I use any pound, spice, fruit or durable cake recipe. You can find many online here. It has to be dense. I prefer making my own cakes but others use doctored box mixes, your choice of course. HTH 
Here is a helpful acronym list.

I use the White Almond Sour Cream cake for almost everything that I do. It's fairly heavy and not super crumbly, yet it tastes really good. |

It actually was nice and moist but carved really well. I have found Duncan Hines cake mixes work really well. Maybe it's the sour cream that makes it so moist??? Not sure but it was quite tasty  |

I also use the white almond sour cream cake. I think that it is a great cake and very moist. It also stands up to carving (after frozen for a while). Good luck!  |

I use doctored mixes. I have used the Darn Good Chocolate Cake, and the marble cake from the Cake Dr. (both as marble and just as a plain yellow), but I add pudding as well. I have also used the White Almond Sour Cream Cake. The only problem I've ever had carving a cake was with a scratch vegan cake recipe. It just fell apart. |

The sour cream wasn't noticeable enough to make a difference. I used the butter cream recipe that is in the Wilton Course one booklet. I flavored it with butter flavoring. It didn't last long enough to get stale. |

I agree. You would never notice the taste of the sour cream. It makes the cake moist and dense. You can use absolutely any icing you wish. I like to replace the almond with creme bouquet. Soo Good!! |

Creme bouquet can be found at cake supply stores. They won't sell it at michaels or walmart type places.. You can also order it on line from many many cake supply retailers. If you google creme bouquet I'll bet you'll get lots of places that sell it. |
