On April 1st was RoRo’s birthday, it fell smack bang in the middle of Pesach and as such we could have a cake.
So, I promised that I would bake a cake as soon as Pesach was over. After eating the most divine red velvet cupcakes from Angel I decided I would try out a red velvet recipe I found at Bakerella.
We started off great!
And then it went downhill… My cakes didn’t rise! I was so upset I couldn’t even take photos!!
So instead of wasting cream cheese icing on two flat cakes I just made some plain icing.
I also decorated with these fantastic silver balls and silver coated chocolate buttons!
Lets just call this a warm up round… I promise RoRo, I will make a better cake during the week!
Oh dear, I’m sure the next attempt will be better.
I battled my backside off and tried several different ones to get my red velvet recipe to work!
I am so not good with baking, even my box cakes flop. Better luck next time 🙂
The cake actually looks yummy and good. Good luck with next time.
