Tip Tuesday: Red Velvet Cake

1. Red velvet cake is a rich cocoa-flavored cake with a distinctive red color, typically paired as a layer cake with a buttercream or cream cheese icing. It is one of our most popular cupcake flavors here at The Cake Boutique. Our recipe is a light, moist cake rich with flavor. This type of cake has some limitations however. Since our cake is so moist the texture is not best for being a supporting cake in a tiered cake, or a shaped cake. Also, since it is paired with cream cheese it needs to be refrigerated- refrigeration is not best for some types of decorations. This limits then the number of hours from pick up to serving. If you are thinking of having a red velvet cake at your event, but aren't willing to compromise your decoration or design- my suggestion is get a cake that is a little smaller in another flavor and order some red velvet cupcakes to go along with the cake. Cupcakes are easily refrigerated and you get the best of both worlds!
