I love the story about your frugal housewife's red velvet cake (and the fact that your daughter's monkey needed a slice as well made it even better). I like the bundt pan version of your cake!

Unfotunatelly it was a while ago and I do not remember much apart from the red colour. I have to say that this time I did get scared with how red my cake turned out. Unlike you I had pecan in the icing - had never had pecan in icing Valentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508889861448919270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29870462.post-51308289503374257032007-03-26T18:28:00.000-04:002007-03-26T18:28:00.000-04:00Wow two cakes!
