Red Velvet is SCARY!





Ever since I saw Steel Magnolias I have been wary of red velvet cake.  In the film they make a cake shaped to look like an armadillo and it is made of red velvet cake.  So, it looks like the bloody insides of the animal...sick!




So, now I really can't ever bring myself to eat the stuff.  What flavor is red velvet anyway?  Is it just red dye?  I don't get it.

hahahaha actually it's pretty good. Only tainted slightly by Steel Magnolias ;)

I always hope that it tastes like Red Crystal Light...the kind that could be any berry flavor or the base formula for Children's Tylenol. Either way, I am sure it probably all tastes really good with a really big box of cheap wine.

Red Velevt cake is actually chocolate cake dyed red. It was orignially devil's food cake and the red color cama from a reaction between early types of cocoa and baking soda. I've never had it though, but it should be good.

I love the stuff. It's a buttermilk cake kissed with cocoa. Delicious if you have the right recipe. Makes a great 4th of July cake if you ice it white!
