Last weekend, I took a break and baked a cake while watching Love and Other Drugs with a few friends. Of course, I fit in this show, between episodes of Homeland.  For the longest time I never really understood the hype behind Red Velvet cake. But after having my first Red Velvet cupcake last year at school, I can now say that I am a fan. I have been dying to make a Red Velvet cake on my own but I have been somewhat intimidated because everyone always makes it seem so difficult.All cooking is trial and error… and I have learned this first hand, over time. The first time you try something new, especially without a recipe, it isn’t necessarily going to be perfect (I’m well aware of this). The actual cake and frosting tasted delicious but I can’t wait to make it again in the near future because my frosting skills need practice. I am the first to admit that I amnot the best “froster” hence why you don’t see a full pretty picture of the frosted cake.  Next time I will focus my time and attention on properly frosting the cake so that it appears more appetizing & desirable.
