red velvet cake

my sister, who live faraway up north

is coming down for a meeting

she saw this cake in CPK menu

i made a promise.. moons ago..

to make this cake specially for her

the night before

i flipped through betty crocker cookbook

i came across whipping cream beating method

it has pictures of:

1. underbeat

2. normal

3. overbeat

with the recipe from my favorite reference

i was so determined on making it right!

i was this (an inch) close to get it right!

no. it was just not my day :(

but i just proceed..

with the over-beaten whipping cream..

what do you expect?

its expensive!

yes. i live in malaysia.

all things imported are da*n expensive

sorry. just can't help cursing :(

but i love my country. full stop.

and the humidity does not help either

am making it in the middle of noon

hence the runny frosting

yes. i skipped lunch. my kids have to eat-out

just because of this bloody-cake

but hey! i enjoy making it!

the kids also love the batter

yes. they prefer the batter to the cake

i think i've mentioned that before

to the kids.. its a delicious blood (the batter. that is)

to me.. its the best cake i ever made

the most delicious cake i ever tasted

the aroma.. the color.. the taste..

everything in red velvet is special..

everything about red velvet is special..

note:

i need to buy long serrated knife..

so that i can have more layers..

verdict:

i'll bake this again

only for special occasion

cause its a special cake!!
