can anyone suggest a dense cake other than a fruitcake to work with fondant? would store bought cakes hold up to fondant?

I have only worked with fondant a couple of times, but I have used my normal cake recipes and not had any problems.
Here's a BUMP for you, though, maybe one of the fondant experts can help.

You could bake a mudcake or a spongecake. I use all kind of cakes myself, and even fill them with mousse, ice them with buttercream and then cover with a thin layer of rolled fondant. You just have to work a little faster if you have fillings that needs refridgeration.

I use doctored mixes (ok - honestly sometimes just stright mixes from the box too!) and used mostly flavors IMBC as my fillings, although I have used ganache, and other fillings I bough online that do not have to be fridged.

I scratch bake (which I think make the cakes naturally denser) - and I haven't found a cake that I have had problems with as far as fondant (or anything else) goes! So, my vote goes to any good scratch cake you fancy!

Every cake that I have made and covered with fondant has been a "doctored"cake mix. The Cake mix extender recipe from this site is awesome and will hold up very well with Fondant.
