Can anyone tell me the best kind of cakes for carving. Any and all suggestion are welcome. Thanx

Here is the link to Sugarshack's blog and in it you will find great recipes, including the one she uses for carving, it is probably in the recipe section here but check out her blog, it's great, she is sooo kind in sharing great tips and recipes:

It's the "Durable cake recipe from Cake Central"

Hi Geomc, firstly welcome to CC - you will learn a lot here. 95% of the cakes I make are carved cakes and I find mud cakes are really good for carving, they are dence and excellent to use. I have used other flavours but the majority requested by my clients are mud cakes anyway.

Best of luck,

Kim

pound cakes or maderia sponges are good ones too.
