Help. I am attempting to make a graduation cake. I am not the best at making the cake...just decorating it. So here is my question...what is the best cake to make when using the sugar sheets?

It doesn't matter what kind of cake you make. Any will work. You are putting it on the frosting so it won't touch the cake. Are you talking about the ones in the package that you can get from the store? I don't know if you have ever used them before, but I don't recommend them. They are actually pretty gross. I used them on a cake for my nephew and everyone pulled them off. They all ended up in the trash.

ADo you happen to have a good cake recipe?

ADo you want a scratch recipe or a mix?

Do a google search for whatever flavor cake you want and pick one with a high rating.  Or just use a box mix.
