I have tried searching for this already, but can't find a thread on what you all think is the best doctored box cake recipe to use for carving and 3d figures (Sure there is one). I have tried WASC in the past, but very moist. Is there a different recipe you use when you are doing these cakes? A pound cake maybe? Or is WASC really the best choice for flavor and consistency?

I definitely thing the *original* WASC cake recipe is perfect for carving
You can bake it just a few minutes longer OR at a higher temp so it is not quite as moist.
The recipe was designed to mimic a scratch pound cake.
