I made your red velvet cake for a friend that had her 83 birthday. It brought tears to her eyes. She blew out her one candle and we all enjoyed the cake. Our grandsons were home from college and the Army. They were so good excited to take some with them. The frosting was so delicious and the cake was a favorite. Thank you for helping to make everyone happy.

[@yerlee4379]

A good tip to keep your cake platter clean from icing and decorating is using 4 sheets of parchment paper and lay it into a square on the platter. Then you can just pull out the parchment paper sheets when you're done icing and decorating! If that made sense lol I don't bake, but I've seen that tip before.

[@kiltedtennessean5380]

@@Natashaskitchen, super easy recipe that turned out pretty good. It was a little dense and a little dry, but those issues are 100% on me, I seem to always have those problems when I make cakes from scratch (I'm assuming the density is from stirring the batter too much and the dryness is from baking too much [the sides of the cake also shrunk from the sides , a sure sign of baking too long]). Both problems should be easy to fix with time and practice. I imagine that once I can get mine to the level as yours, I'll be sinking my teeth into it like Natasha did at the end of the video!
