I'm posting a pound cake recipe, only because pound cake is the thickest cake that there is out there. Thickness is needed because it holds up well especially when using fondant because fondant can be very heavy. Also, it is the best to shape and form into different figures. (I will post up examples later) We should try this recipe mean while.
