Could someone please tell me what the best cake is to use for doing a wedding cake?? I am going to do a 3 tier wedding cake and I want it to be very sturdy, she asked for vanilla cake with lemon filling? any help would be great.
Try the WASC cake in the recipes section here (the original one by kakeladi) It's almost as sturdy as a pound cake and you can change up the flavor pretty much any way you'd want.
I have to agree. I use kakeladi's WASC receipe and I use Duncan Hines White Cake mix. In taste test these are my winners.
Loucinda is right. Cake doesn't support cake. Your support system is what supports your cake. You can stack angel food cake or straight box mix. It's all about the support system not what kind of cake you use.
Those of you who use the WASC recipe, do you use the DH mix for your white cake part of the WASC? Others, do you use the classic white DH mix with standard direction on the box? I tried the WASC recipe from this web sight and my family said it didn't taste any different than the white DH I usually make. We couldn't taste the almond.
I ask because I'm making my first wedding cake in July for my daughter and I want it to be the best.
Thanks

I use kakeladi's recipe all the time.
No, don't follow the directions on the box. You add to the dry mix.
here is the recipe.

I like to add a bit more almond than it calls for, like almost an extra tablespoon! We REALLY like almond though 
I like a subtle almond flavor, so I add just what is called for in the WASC recipe. It is my most popular wedding cake flavor.
Like ptanyer, I also use a standard pound cake recipe and adjust the flavorings as needed when I make pound cake. It is my grandmother's recipe and it is so good (and easy).
I use white DH as well it's my #1 seller everyone loves it

thanks for the link I'm gonna have to definitely try it out...Just one question tho...I use DH which doesn't have the pudding in it..do I have to add some?
This is my favorite flavor and top seller.
White Cake (I love DH)
1 box of instant French Vanilla pudding mix
4 whole eggs
1/2 cup oil
Mix as instructed on the box. Bake at 325. It really makes a great tasting moist cake. It makes a light yellow cake.
I don't add pudding with the DH in the WASC. I just follow the recipe, using DH instead of BC and the 1 TBL of flavoring I use almond. That is my DDs favorite. I will be using this recipe for most of her wedding cake with indydebi's BC with almond flavor. (that is her - I can't stay out of the frosting bowl - favorite!)
