Red Velvet Awesomeness

This just might be the shortest blog I write, it is the shortest to date. :D So today, my roommate had one of the best days I have witness her have in a long time. She got the internship of her dreams and asked me to bake a cake for her. Of course I didn't say NO... After asking what flavor she wanted we realized that Red Velvet was the one. She pulled out her recipe box and handed me a recipe for red velvet and accompanying frosting. 

I quickly got to work making my first red velvet cake and even better it was from scratch!!!!!! I then placed it in my brand new 6-8" round silicone pans. :D (thanks mom) and put it in the oven.... Like all cakes I had to wait for them to bake and eventually they were done.

I quickly got busy icing the cake. I have to admit I did not give it my best job, and nothing fancy was done to decorate it. But in the end it looked just about as good as it tasted.

                                                                                                                                                            

The two things I love about doing this cake aside from the fact that I did it LOL... Is that ONE) I succeeded in making yet another cake from scratch with a very delectable frosting (also from scratch and my new favorite since its not sickly sweet and can be very versatile) and TWO) I was able to bake it, frost it, and eat it in just about 3 hours. This is a huge thing for me, now granted I should have allowed the frosting to set up a little longer between the crumb coating and final frosting and I should have let the cake cool a bit longer and taken my time and put more pride in my work. But with all this aside, I have to give myself a big high five and a pat on the back. Thanks for following, I am one cake closer to achieving my dreams. So what will be the next cake?! Let me practice by doing a cake for YOU!!!!!
