Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

hiya, what is best sponge for making novaltey and wedding cakes i take it they have to be firm thanks

Try this one, I always get great results with it, and don’t forget to use the syrup, makes all the difference. This recipe has great reviews, and is very moist, but firm enough to carve.

Got to agree with sharon54, it is a lovely cake!  Just need to work out how to convert it to use with other sizes of cake tins!

Just google in Cake Baker and you’ll find the cake o metre. Other good wedding cake recipes can be found by googling Jane Hornby. She also has a mean chocolate cake recipe, firm, moist and moorish.
