hello everyone thank you for taking the time to read this. i need a cake recipe that well hold up OUTSIDE AHHHHH ! the design that i want to make is a bird house and i know a box mix well do good right?? but i really dont want to use box unless i can figure out a way to add more flavor or something.. i would love for it to have pecans or almonds (cuz its a Bird house jeje) if any one has any ideas on how to change up a box recipe of how to make the brid house itself i would really Love your input thank you

i heard that you can add pudding to the cake box recipes????? if so would that be good to leave outside???

What kind of cake are you trying to make?

Usually the cake isn't the issue outside, it's the frosting that has problems with heat and humidity.

ohh ok im not sure about what kind of cake i do what it to have peacans and or almonds so im guessing carrott?????? would the cream cheese hold up out side?? i want to add fondant to it as well

I've never used fondant to cover a cake with cream cheese icing but I have read that it doesn't do well under fondant. I do know that cream cheese icing doesn't do well in the heat.

You might consider a cream cheese filling and crumb coat with buttercream, then the fondant.... Unless the cake is in the direct sunlight (which you really don't want for any cake) or 100 degree heat... it should do fine...

ok so buttercream it is!! =D thanks now now do you think a banana cake with butter cream and peacan bits in it sounds good i want to make a good impression its my coming out cake. they are haveing a cake walk and i would like to stand out .becuase i would like to start doing this for a living. so any adives would help me so much

im not sure where it wil be at but i hope it turns out good ! ill besure to upload some pic afterwards thanks guys

How about Italian cream WASC variation and use Indydebi's or Sugarshack's buttercream recipe. Both buttercreams are excellent in moderate heat. Lorann has a cheesecake flavoring you could add if you want more of a cream cheese flavor without the worry of cream cheese going bad.

what does WASC stand for??? and where can i find it?

would it be possible to add honey to the fill im thinking like the frosting and bits of peacans and almonds with honey does that sound good to you guys???? or is it cuz im pregnant it sounds good to me =P what kind of flavor for the cake it self what sounds good with my peacans??

ok so i made up my mind finally lol it going to be a cherry cake with peacans , almond and cherry chocolate filling buttercream frosting with fondont ill upload so pic soon thank you guys for your help
