Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had success in covering a soda cake with fondant? I tried one that was absolutly delicious and would like to make a birthday cake with the recipe. I'm just not sure if it would be able to hold the weight of the icing and fondant.

How dense is the cake - is it very light and airy or is it dense. The really light cakes tend to smoosh under the weight of fondant.

I have been dying to try this recipe, so I am anxious to see how it turns out for you!! GOOD LUCK!

It actually turned out great!! I used a white cake mix with strawberry pop it was awesome..

Thank you for the follow-up. Have not had the courage to try this - guess I will now!

Now that combination sounds really good! Did the cake rise like normal?
