Which cake i should use if i want to carve the cake. Dose moist cake do well. Or i should bake a pound cake for carving. Really need help with it.

A more dense cake stands up to carving better. A pound cake is a good choice, or if you bake from scratch, they tend to be more dense than box mixes and hold up well. If you bake from a mix, check out the recipe section - i think there's one called Durable cake or something. Maybe someone can help with that.

Here's the link to the durable cake http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1972-0-Durable-Cake-for-3D-and-Wedding-Cakes.html

I have carved with pound cake which works very well, I just do not like the taste much. I would like to try that durable cake recipe to carve, it sounds like it would work!

Does the durable cake taste good? I made a lemon cake from an old forum topic here and it was very dense. It tasted ok, especially with the lemon curd filling and lemon buttercream frosting, but it was kind of dry.

The 3-D cake that Beachcakes posted is delicious. I recently made it to do my grandsons birthday cake. It is the baseball glove holding the baseball. Was very moist and easier to carve. Just don't overbake it.

I find the WASC cake is pretty dense. I had a friend who carved a bear of of one. it's a great tasting cake too. nice flavor and taste as a scratch cake too.

patton, the last carved cake i made, i used pound cake recipe from allrecipes.com. it's called "cream cheese pound cake I" . it was very good and moist!

I used the durable cake (http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1972-1-Durable-Cake-for-3D-and-Wedding-Cakes.html) this past weekend to make a carved cake from one of Debbie Brown's books. I'd heard the cake recipe in her books is very dry. The durable cake was very good -- moist and dense, but not as much as a pound cake. Plus, just like any basic recipe, you can adjust the flavoring if you like to create an almond, lemon, chocoloate, etc. version. Karenelli is right -- be sure you don't overbake it. You will need to watch it a bit.
