Shortening plus β€œbutter flavor” instead of butter? That’s one way to include an extra product placement in a recipe!

But yeah, how interesting that there are so many different ways to top a red velvet cake. Maybe it’s regional? Or the topping changed when the recipe caught on in a new region?

everything I am reading about red velvet is that its origins are shrouded in mystery. It is such a weird cake. II always thought it was one of those rationing types of deals, like you couldn’t get cocoa so you just used a couple of tablespoons and a big glurge of red food coloring.

You can really see the embroidery influence in the designs (or maybe crewel work from the 50s tried to look like cakes?).

I wonder what someone who was a baker in that era would make of today’s cakes with their super-bright colours and rakish angles.

Today’s Cakewrecks is unique: all the cakes are from one cake artiste (in Russia). This one, in particular, really grabbed me:
