This is a dense cake even with the angel food tag. The custard you put on the top is a very nice compliment to the cake. We did use this recipe for Tessa's wedding cake but it didn't stand up the decorations too good....but most people enjoyed the cake even tho it wasn't the most beautiful wedding cake. The top layer slipped off. I'm not a very good cake decorator.
