Red Velvet Cake always brings to mind the "bleedin' armadillo cake" from the movie "Steel Magnolias"!

It always brings that to my mind too Kevin!!! I am sure if there weren't so much red food coloring in the cake mix I would eat it!!! I will not tocuh this cake at all as it is dangerous to injest this much red dye!!!

I agree Cathy - the beet recipe is better to use.

Yeah you eat all the freaking red dye (uh...excuse me food coloring) and there will be a new thread started by Kevin Called: What A Way To Go---DANG!!!!
Even have to be closed casket, since you'll be radio active and glowing a very odd red color even as you lay dead as a door-nail!!!
I am outraged with the fact that they even would offer me a piece when I go somewhere- I actually think they are trying to poision me LOL

LOL - Cathy - you guys crack me up - but you are so right! Use BEETS - it's healthier and you won't glow in the dark!

I've always been totally intrigued by Red Velvet Cake. As I've posted before- it seems like it oughtta be such a sweet morsel w/ so much interesting and exotic potential- alas, it seems kinda like a DUD when it comes to actual history, ingredients, legacy, etc. That said- and I agree the extreme amount of food coloring IS alarming- I STILL love the IDEA of it. In fact, one of my co-workers who is originally from Louisiana is getting married in Sept. and I gave her the idea of having a Red Velvet Wedding Cake- and she took the idea. I think it'll be unique, interesting, and not so run-of-the-mill. I sure hope the gal who's making the cake does it justice for her!
