Sorry for not posting in a while but, I have cousins who don't eat egg. Every year the task comes to me to bake the birthday cake and that is my gift to them :). This year is they wanted red velvet cake and HAD to be egg-less. I thought that red velvet cake was just a mere chocolate cake with less chocolate and more red food color. But not knowing I found an egg-less chocolate cake recipe thinking that my idea would work of the less chocolate and more red food color. When the red color got added the chocolate and the red color didn't seem as rich as it is in the REAL red velvet cake. What I realized is since you use cake flour in a real red velvet cake the different type of flour saturates the red color in a different way than regular all purpose flour would. Luckily the final product was good so I didn't mind too much.
The cake design that I made was inspired by the cake that The Cake Girls. It had fondant circles in the pattern which shingles are placed. And then there was a layer of cream cheese frosting on the top. To give my cake some color I put (fresh) raspberries.
