Q: Why can't Mariah cook?
A: she is too freaking impatient! see exhibit a: red velvet cake. this was what i promised jack i would make after my race. it's also what he calls red violet cake. got the recipe from my mom and tried it out for the first time today. i think i was doing a swell job, but then we just couldn't wait for the cake to cool. i mean, come ON! why does everything take so long??? so i iced the warm cake, only to see the icing slide off the sides in a horrifying, cartoonish sort of way. i tried to put it back on top, but then decided it wasn't worth it. i just cut the thing up and served it, and it was pretty fantastic. jack said it was the best cake in the whole world, and i can't help but agree. i'm just going to go ahead and not serve it to anyone outside my immediate family.

LOL! Thanks for the morning laugh, Mariah! That's just classic! Perhaps the next time you want red velvet cake, you should either have your mom make it or go to the store and buy one. Just kidding...it's hard, after the aroma of cake has been filling the house for a couple hours, to wait for it to cool so that the frosting can be put on. I would love to try the recipe. Would you email it to me? Thanks!
i looked at the first pictures before i read the entry and spent a few mins trying to figure out what the heck the red thing was. i'm glad it was still good. i love to bake, call me and i'll give you a hand next time you want to attempt something.
Sometimes accidents result in wonderful things, eh? :) I put the chocolate chips in a batch of cookies too early once. We ended up with chocolate chocolate chip cookies. But how can you go wrong with chocolate?
Thanks for the fun time, trying to figure out the pictures...
Cake is cake no matter what it looks like. I'm impressed with the red velvet part . . . great color and consistency. You just have to overlook the snotty goup around it!
could you at least same some for a friend next time?
