Hi, i am pretty new to baking and decorating out of my home, mostly baking i worked in a bakery decorating for like seven years, and always used the bakery's cakes, because they were so good, but i want to start baking my own, so my question is do any of you use the recipes from wilton, in the back of their books for cakes, fillings, buttercreams, etc, i already tried several chocolate cake recipes from diff. sorces and hated them, nothing is near chocolatey enough and just tastes like cocoa, i am begining to like cake mixes more , and more, thought i'd ask about the wilton recipes before i try them, yellow? white? chocolate? etc, what do you lovely ladies think? are they good, or do you have a cake recipe you swear by, private message me with it, or email me, thanks,

For chocolate cake you can't beat the double chocolate layer cake recipe at epicurious.com. It is super moist and super chocolatey. I can't stand most chocolate cakes and this one is fabulous. For White cake you MUST try the White Almond Sour Cream cake recipe. I don't like almond so I sub that flavor with creme bouquet (found at cake supply stores) or you can sub it with vanilla or whatever you like (If you don't like almond of course). I don't have a yellow recipe that I've tried yet but many people say they like Toba Garrett's yellow cake recipe. I have the recipe at home (I'm out of town for the weekend). I'll post it when I get home on Sunday.
