i got a call for a cake for this weekend, kinda short notice, but when they are calling- i can't say no! i got to pick what i did, and i choose red velvet cake. i can't find the scrap of paper that i wrote the recipe on, so we'll just talk about what i do know for sure.
red velvet cake is fun to make! there is red food coloring involved! and i didn't get it on my new shirt! this recipe made for a very moist, dense cake. which means that it was easy to work with.
i cut the cakes into layers. on each layer, i spread a bunch of strawberry juice that i got from macerating strawberries in sugar overnight. then a layer of white chocolate mousse. for covering and decorating, i made a pretty basic cream cheese frosting- then folded in a bunch of the leftover mousse. yum. good thinking, sierra.
and for those of you looking for cakes- this one is a 9" round, i bake two cakes and layer to about 4" or 5" high. i bet it serves about 20. i am charging $2 - $3 per person depending on what all is going on.
