Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
, Posted in
I like to affectionately call this one "Product Placement Red Velvet Cake." As you scroll through the pics you will see what I mean. First and foremost let me introduce you to Enrique, my Kitchen Aid
. He was a very special birthday present this year. The kitchen aid fairy (aka sweetcheeks) left him in the middle of the floor when I came home from school. We have been in love ever since. You see what that says on the side... Professional HD, very special gift…skills!

The Cake Recipe is courtesy of Paula Dean and the Food Network site, yet the icing is all mine. When it comes to southern desserts I look to her and the Neelys. Before beginning this recipe please remember we must do our Mise en Place first! Mise en Place – Everything in its place.
