(Some of the variations... err, probably not so much.) I grew up eating it, too, and it's still my favorite kind of cake. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/14/red_velvet_revolution#c606222 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:24:04 +0000 c606225@http://metachat.org Did you have it with Big Red soda? The Texas psyche yearns for shockingly red and sickening sweet.

Still remember when I found a box of red velvet cake mix at the store -- it was like STRIKING GOLD. Hee, from the article: "When it comes down to a wedding cake, the couple usually decides on a true vanilla or chocolate, or both." Wonder what it says about us that we went with three types of cake -- red velvet, tiramisu, and pineapple upside-down.

Just the thought of it now makes the inside of my mouth sad. Why so pretty, but so bland? Possible also that I have so far always been AHHH THE CALORIES GET IT OUT OF MY MOUTH* so there is a mental block against its deliciousness? That's probably, on balance, a good thing. *More to The Whelk then I guess!

Especially the pineapple upside down cake -- yum. We had lemon pound cake and devil's food cake for our wedding.) I guess the revolution started a while ago? I certainly was well exposed to it from when I moved to the US, and I actually was not aware it was a regional thing.

I also like a minimum of food coloring, but it's kind of like a what the hell thing. It's not like I'm going to eat acres of it, and the three or four bites of cream cheesey/cakey goodness is all I'm in for with a single cupcake. Usually with sweet stuff, that's all I really want, a few bites. http://metachat.org/index.php/2012/10/14/red_velvet_revolution#c606240 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 21:50:53 +0000 c606255@http://metachat.org My Mom would make red velvet cake for my brother to take back to university. Sharing with dorm-mates meant he didn't get but a few slices before it was gone. Mom solved that by making it with green coloring instead of red; resulting in some of it moulding before he could eat it all.

Sometimes, but I actually prefer the subtler, more strawberry-like and less bubble-gum-y flavor and delicate nuance of Shasta Red Pop. However, I am at heart a Pepper.
