Hello myraconn

Red velvet is very popular for weddings so it should be strong enough to take the weight of sugarpaste. To be absolutely sure I would select a recipe which is intended for a tier. Crumbcoating with white ganache is ideal. If you’d like some help with quantites there is a ganache chart here:
