Always on the lookout for a good red velvet (RV) recipe, the ladies tried one of Paula Deen's takes on the cake.
Instead of a simple layer cake, however, we tried out the latest baking utensil added to our business ... the Big Top Cupcake (as seen on TV)! It's supposed to be a giant cupcake, but ours turned out looking like a beehive. Perhaps it was because we saved some of the batter for our sample cake, which is okay when we're making a layer or sheet cake, but we now know this is definitely not advisable when baking in the Big Top.
The recipe turned out, but it wasn't the home run we've been hoping for when it comes to RV recipes.
Update: Katie attempted an RV cake away from the Cake Brigade for her dad and brother's birthdays. She used a recipe from America's Test Kitchen and said it--and the accompanying frosting recipe--topped each of the recipes we've tried. We'll have to give that one a go next time we need an RV fix.
Here is Katie's cake and our inspiration for future RV attempts:
