Do you use a different recipe if you are going to be sculpting a cake? I've have been wanting to try a sculpted cake, but haven't because I can't imagine that my normal cake would hold up.

Thanks!

I'm bumping yu because I would like to know this too!

Good question, Bump!

Can you share the mudcake and/or buttercake recipes? Are they on this site?

Thanks! Michelle

Here is the link to all my recipes on this site. Just a warning, the temperature is wrong on most of the MUDCAKE recipes. ALL my mudcake recipes should be baked at 160C, not 180C. Most also take 1+ hours to bake.

Edited to say:The versatile buttercake is the one i've carved to make sculpted cakes with, made with butter. I've never tried to sculpt the chocolate buttercake.

160 Celcius is 320 deg F. Here is a page with a temp conversion calculator:

I recently tried the chocolate mudcake and loved it. So yummy and rich!!! I'll have to try the buttercake sometime soon.....

Hi

I have found that the best cake for me when sculpting, is pound cake. They are very heavy and dense. They can take the abuse and still stand up well. I find that you can work with them longer.

good luck

I use Madeira cake, is very dry, and it taste more like a soft cookies than like cake, but is good and more important, it holds for transportation

saving...

Thanks for the info girls! I only make scratch cakes, but my tried and true recipes just seem like they would be too "soft." Thanks for the ideas!
