Cakes for Decorating

When you are making a cake to decorate if you don't add the oil to the cake mix the cake will be a little more solid. I actually like the texture of a cake without the oil - it is more like a sponge cake and not quite as crumbly. Having it hold together makes it easier to frost. Also, freezing the cake helps to cut down on the crumbliness and makes it easier to cut if you are changing the shape of your cake after you have already cooked it.
