    Self-employed baker. 'Nuff said.

    Don't mean to toot my own horn, but I make some mean cakes. My favorite combos: apple cake w/ caramel buttercream, dark chocolate cake w/ white chocolate ganache and buttercream, and red velvet cake w/ cream cheese frosting. My boyfriend and business partner could live off of pumpkin spice cake w/ maple buttercream.

    I seriously wonder how on earth I manage to maintain my weight with my career choice lol.

    Carrot and walnut w cream cheese frosting
    Ricotta cheesecake
    Cherry and almond - hang on that's a tart. Eating some right now.

    Red velvet has a more buttery flavor than a normal vanilla cake because it uses buttermilk in the recipe, and it has slight chocolate undertones from the small amount of cocoa powder added. The "red" just comes from the fact that you throw in some red food coloring. Makes it pretty! :) It's paired with cream cheese frosting for the most part, but I've also thrown some mocha buttercream on top and that came out DIVINE. P:

    There's debate about the frosting that should be paired with red velvet- cream cheese frosting vs. boiled frosting. I am firmly in the cream cheese camp. Alas, I can't have true red velvet anymore due to the food coloring. :sad:

    BOILED frosting??? *googles* Wait, isn't that just Italian meringue??? Never heard of Italian meringue paired with red velvet. Cream cheese all the way! And if you bake at home, you can easily omit the food coloring and just make a "cocoa" velvet cake. Omit the cocoa powder, too, and you get "golden" velvet!

    All cake. It is my #1 weakness.

    Recently I have been buying chocolate cake mix and mixing it with a can of cherry pie filling rather than the eggs and oil. YUM!

    Spice cake mix with a can of pumpkin pie filling and topped with cream cheese frosting is the best.

    I eat all the cake.

    I love you. I have never tried the above. Will do soon.
