I haven't run across a recipe in the cake bible (for cake....not including the stuff like waffles and the like) that won't hold up to fondant, except for the angel food cake.
I haven't made every recipe in the other book, but most butter cakes will hold up to fondant.
Rose's book has changed my life. No kidding. She goes over everything, including piping, tempering chocolate, equipment, etc. Last week, I made her butter chocolate cake recipe but as cupcakes for the office bake sale. I received compliments galore. Some people even told me that they nearly "bit their fingers off" gobbling down their cupcake. If you follow her recipes, use the right equipment, and are patient, you are bound to get a winner. Every time. I have the Cake Bible. As for Heavenly Cakes, I will get that one very soon.
