Yuuummmm cream cheese frosting :)

Oh yeah ... I completely second the cream cheese frosting ... either "store-bought" or google a recipe. With that said, any chances you want to share your yummy red velvet cake recipe?! It sounds festive for the holidays! Some people roll the edges of the cake in small chocolate chips and put little floral icing "squirts" around the edges with a larger dollop in the middle (if you want to get really fancy.

Let us know how it turns out!

I've never had red velvet cake before. What is it like?

Everyone here is invited to the Chatty Cottage (my house) for
Red Velvet Cake. For Christmas I put red/green jimmies on top - or
sometimes red peppermint swirl candy on top.
I also make it for Valentine's Day and then I put the little heart
candy (the ones that have those little Valentine sayings on them).

I have a cream cheese frosting receipe that I use and everyone loves,
but I was thinking maybe someone had something different.

Can you smell the cake baking ???? Yummy.

Here is a recipe I found for red velvet cake frosting:

1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 tbsp. flour
1 c. butter
1 c. vitamin D whole milk (too runny if you use other)

Cook flour and milk in double boiler until thick, stirring constantly. Cool. Cream sugar, butter and vanilla until as fluffy as possible. Blend cooked mixture with creamed.
This icing must stay refrigerated, will fall apart at room temperature.
