WOW! Welcome! If you go to the recipe link there are many mnay BC recipes there. Everyone seems to have their own favorite. A ny cake can be made for a wedding cake, it depends on what the bride and groom are looking for. The WASC recipe seems to be a favorite . You can also find it on the recipe link. I always use boxed cake mix w/an extra egg added. Always works for me. Cake decorating is addictive, I started in August, and cant keep up with the orders. You can look at me cakes if you llike . Some are better than others. some only took a day. a few had about 18-20 hours of time to them. Good Luck!!!!!!!

Wow! That was an exhausting post to read! Now, take a deep breath, and I will talk you down . So, one question I think I read was about buttercream. A really good icing is SMBC (swiss meringue buttercream). It is light and delicious. There are many good recipes on CC. Good Luck and welcome to CC.

I hope this can help you, Edna has some videos on youtube en they are amazing, I try this recipe and I love it.

HI Whittyella! Welcome to our little corner of the decorating world. You will learn lots here when you can take time to read the many, many posts. There is sooooooo much information it will make your eyes cross & tiered
But please, your posts are *VERY!* difficult to read Please use periods, commas etc to separate your thought so us 'old ladies' can understand them.

haha, I will try to start using them and make sure to proof read before i send them out. I usally just type and then go. HAHA, but for the next times that i send out a post i will def. use periods haha. Talk to you later.
