My boss lady always made the best red velvet cake for Christmas.  I asked her how she made it.  She said she uses 2 bottles of food coloring.  It was VERY red!

My recipe calls for 2 bottles of food coloring also; my family loves this cake, and I don't sweat the amount of food coloring.  I want a RED cake.

decades ago - yes decades....

on the Today show - the commentators were sharing their favorite holiday cake

Al Roker mentioned Red Velvet Cake from the south

I never heard of it.... so when I traveled to Chattanooga for business -

I asked my contact when I visited - I want a piece of Red Velvet Cake

she mentioned it was a holiday cake and we visited 2 bakeries - none to be found

fast forward - a box arrived at my work - I opened it and it looked like dog food

it was a red velvet cake mailed to me but it was not packaged properly 

literally a cake mailed in a bakery box - decades ago, people 

my coworkers gathered around - we found spoons and plates and devoured the thing - it was a good memory, not pretty but tasty

but now - you can walk to any bakery and get red velvet and yes 

i still like it - made one years ago - added lot less food coloring and it looked brown - still tasted good but it wasn't as festive
