I know I could spend an hour or more looking through all the GF threads but this could be easier: I am looking for a GF cake that is not chocolate for a 5 year birthday that I can decorate with fondant and place a ballerina on figure on top (made of fimo) A sponge is possibly too light and I have already tried 3 recipies and the texture has been too gritty or overpowering with one of the flours used.

You could do an orange/almond cake.Would be nice and firm for the fondant.

Use a chocolate cake recipe you know and like the texture of then modify it.
