After many years in the wilderness, trying and failing to make red velvet anything, I thought I had succeeded thanks to a bake at home kit from Crumbs and Doilies!
I’m not kidding when I say I’ve tried to make various red velvet bakes about 100 times. Well, ok, 5 times. And every time, EVERY TIME, the bakes aren’t red. No matter which method I use, which recipe I use, which food colouring I use, I just get brown red velvet cakes. And brown red velvet cakes are a problem because they’re not red, and ergo can’t possibly count as red velvet cakes.
