I'm trying to find a good recipe to use for sculpting cakes ,but the last one i made was a complete disaster!

Does anyone have a good cake recipe that won't crumble?

This is the best one that I've tried so far! It's really good.

Do you know if there's a way i can use a cooke and serve pudding mix?

Here is what a found a long time ago on the Duncan Hines website:

Cooked Pudding for Instant Pudding
You cannot substitute cooked pudding for instant pudding. Cooked pudding will result in a drier, coarser, grittier texture because it has not been activated or pre-gelatinized as instant puddings have.

I have never tested this to see if this was correct...I have always used the instant pudding...has anyone else on here tried the cook and serve instead of instant??

I just went ahead and used the cook and serve pudding ,and i couldn't tell a huge difference. I thought the cake was moist and very good.

I'm glad that it worked out for ya!!
