I want a cake recipe for a wedding cake, that is light and fluffy.?

I am getting married in July. It is going to be an outdoor wedding and reception. I want a light and fluffy wedding cake recipe. I have tried a few wedding cakes recipes, and they are very heavy. I am having a tiered cake, but I will be using support. I will be decorating it with MM fondant as well. Anyone know of a light fluffy tasty cake recipe, please send it along. Thanks.

Maybe you should try a pound or sponge cake made with sour cream?





It's hard to do light and fluffy when tiered, and to support fondant.





Or, you could always have a 'fake cake' decorated with fondant for looks and cut pieces of your favorite dessert/cake to serve. Good luck...
Reply:Don't make your own wedding cake! Don't you think you'll have enough stress? Have the caterers do that!
Reply:I would suggest a coconut cake. It is fairly light and tasty for your guests.

Reply:Light and fluffy is great! But, fondant is very heavy and so are layered cakes. I dont know that you will have a very easy time finding light and fluffy that can hold up to fondant and layers. Have you consulted any bakers and asked their opinions? It is their area of expertise afterall. I would HIGHLY recommend that you take their advice and listen to it. I have seen too many wedding cakes fall before a reception started because of faulty supports and other variables. Good luck and best wishes on your wedding day!
Reply:HEy what's the lightiest and fluffiest cake there is it's angel food cake so get a mix of that and it will always stay light and fluffy. And you can make a chocolate frosting for it.
Reply:Not to discourage you, but I would suggest reconsider your light and fluffy cake. A couple things stand out in your question. First, you are having tiers. I realize that you are using support, but the cake underneath has to be able to HOLD UP those support braces. Light and fluffy aren't going to hold a wood dowel or even store bought supports in place. It will tear through it. Also, using fondant on a light and fluffy cake isn't going to work. It is too heavy on such a soft cake.





Most wedding cakes area a bit heavy so it will hold up under the weight of such things as tons of frosting, tiers and fondant.





It is a wonderful conceptual idea, but I urge you to think it through one more time. I'd hate for such a wonderful day to end with a sinking / falling cake.





Good Luck.. no matter what you do!
