Im doing a dragon cake for someone soon, and she wants to know what cake flavors I can do, but Ive only done a few recipes. WASC and chocolate brownie, and carrot are mainly what I have done. Besides that I wanted to know a really good one for sculpting a cake. Im always scared the cake will crumble as Im carving it, you know?
So does anyone know of some yummy recipes for me to try? And maybe even a new filling?
Any tips would be appreciated, TIA! and thanks for reading!
Im attaching a pic of the dragon I want to make, or similar to it at least.Sorry i dont remember who did this cake but it is amazing!!! 
Hey Jeannie,
I saw a tutorial somewhere here in the forums for making a cake similar to this one, I can't find it again though (I'm still looking)..
but in the meantime, check this out

I love love Serious_cake's yellow cake recipe from her youtube videos. I've never carved a cake, but I bet it would stand up. It's easy to make and very tasty.
Just a suggestion, but freezing the cakes for a couple of hours makes it easier. Less crumbling.
Since you're only freezing them for a few hours, you don't need to wrap them. I like to use a serrated knife to carve out the shape. Once it's all shaped how you want it, put it back in the freezer. It's actually easier to crumb coat the cake while it's frozen. After the crumbcoat is on, let it come to room temp and then ice it like you normally would.
