WOW! I MAY BE A BIT OUT OF MY LEAGUE, HERE. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED WITH MY WHITE WEDDING CAKE SEARCH. I HAVE READ AND RE-READ ALL OF YOUR RESPONSES. I HAVE PRINTED THEM ALL OFF AND MATCHED THEM TO THE RECIPES YOU GAVE SO I COULD TELL WHOSE RESPONSE WENT WITH WHICH RECIPE. NOW, FOR MY QUESTIONS..ADDRESSED TO EACH INDIVIDUALLY ( AND I HOPE YOU GET THEM) TO CAROL-JAKARTA THANK YOU FOR THE EGG WHITE LESSON. I DID TRY A RECIPE THAT USED EGG WHITES AND I GOT THEM TO WORK THE RIGHT WAY. I JUST WASN'T BEATING THEM ON A HIGH ENOUGH SPEED. (ONE TIME IT TOOK ME ALMOST A HALF HOUR TO GET THEM TO PEAK, THEN THEY DIDN'T PEAK THE FULL EXTENT). THAT IS WHY IS WAS LEARY OF RECIPES WITH EGG WHITES. I PLAN ON TRYING YOUR CAKE..PROBABLY THIS WEEK-END. I THOUGHT I HAD FOUND "THE" RECIPE, THEN, AFTER READING EVERYONES COMMENTS AND RECIPES, I DECIDED TO TRY A FEW MORE. (MY HUSBAND WILL LOVE ME..I HAVE TRIED SO MANY RECIPES, HE IS SICK OF CAKE!) NOW...TO CLS IN OHIO....WHY DO YOU THINK SCRATCH RECIPES ARE BETTER THEN A BOX MIX. ALL OF MY SCRATCH RECIPES HAVE TASTED "EGGY" AND HAVE BEEN VERY COURSE. I KNOW I'D STILL LIKE TO FIND A SCRATCH RECIPE BECAUSE MY THINKING IS, ANYONE CAN MAKE A BOX MIX, SO WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO ORDER FROM ME IF I USE BOX MIXES, TOO? GIVE ME YOUR INPUT!!!THANKS TO ALL...I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE SEARCH IS OVER....
