Just wanted to know if the extender recipe makes a firm enough cake to use for stacking and sculpting 3D cakes?
Thanks in advance
Jane

From what Ive read on the boards here... yes the extender recipe makes the cake durable enough for carving icon_smile.gif

I haven't attempted 3-d cakes, so here is a bump anyway for others to chime in.

I haven't used it for carving but stacking is OK! Good luck.

Thanks very much!!!

I want to use a cake mix with extender to practice a 3D cake..so that sounds great..I'll give it a whirl...even though I usually scratch bake, if this is good, I will likely use this for the real cake as well.
It will be my first attempt at "carving"..it isn't due for a month but I want to practice so I know what I am doing...have a Thomas cake and a purse coming up ...

Where can I find the extender recipe ? I tried to look it up in recipes but nothing came up. I would greatly appreciate it since I do need to do a 3D Thomas the Train cake in sept.

Thank you all very much.

Yep. You're right. Duh. I was thinking the recipe you posted and accidentally grabbed this recipe without reading it thinking I had the right one. My bad!
