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.
