What is the best cake recipe for wedding cakes? It needs to be delicious, FIRM, STRONG, but also soft and moist. I've tried several but can't find a good one. I don't want it to fall apart when I'm carving it or crumble while I'm stacking them! Desprately need help! Vanilla and Chocolate recipes would be great!
A favorite around here is the White Almond Sour Cream Cake and there are many variations that you can try.

Hope that helps.
Can you post the ones you have tried. That way others won't recommend what you have already used.
I have 4 books sitting at my table right now. All of them have wedding cake recipes. There are so many out there, it is just amazing.
I have not made a wedding cake, nor will I probably ever do it. But in the meantime it will be interesting to see what others say for a good cake.
My favorite and "hands down" best seller is the "original" WASC recipe by kakeladi. (found on thie site) However, since I loathe the taste of almond extract I double the vanilla. 
I can't wait to try this. I usually make a yummy cream cheese pound cake for my tiered cakes, but it's so expensive to make. I'm looking forward to trying this.
I don't think there is a specific recipe for wedding cakes. However, most brides want vanilla or chocolate. I wanted to see what others were using. When I used the word "Strong" I meant that it should hold together well. Have you ever seen cake boss? He throws his cakes up in the air to flip them then catches them, that's what I'm talking about. Durablility so I don't have to stress about them. Thanks for the recipes, I haven't tried any from this site yet.
By the way I'm trying the Original WASC recipe for a baby shower cake this weekend!
I made WASC and everyone said it was as good as wedding cake. It was so fantastic! There is a specific 'type' of cake that is thought of as wedding cake even though NOW it's not always the case. My sister had Strawberry cake, my cousin had hummingbird cake. It's just whatever the bride wants. But when someone says 'wedding cake' my mind automatically goes to something like WASC.
I really liked the recipe!! Now if it will stay moist until Saturday it will be great! It's 1:15am Thurs and the cakes are baked and iced. Thurs night I will decorate it and Friday after work I will deliver it. The shower is Saturday! Thanks for the suggestion, it's exactly what I was looking for!

It will be fine for Saturday. I love this recipe. It's my favorite white cake recipe.
I'm with Leah_S on the "any recipe will work" and it doesn't have to be "strong". Cake doesn't support cake, the support system supports cake.
Hi there has any one ever tried Alan Dunns High Density sponge cake recipe out of his wedding cake decorators bible. Thats all I use here in the UK. Have never tried any of these WASC or other flavours you use over there, us brits are a bit more conservative.
The recipe is:
500g cake flour (i use Mcdougalls supreme sponge)
500g Lurpak spreadable butter
570g caster sugar
500g eggs (weighed without shells)
75ml cold water
Vanilla essence
everything is put in the bowl and mixed together for a few minutes. until all traces of butter is gone.
This makes a 10" round 3" deep cake.
bake at 145c fan oven or 180 regular for 1hr 20min or until cooked
Everyone wants to know which recipe I use, they all love the sponge cake so much
Yes Mcdougalls make a Supreme Sponge flour, you dont need anything else
