firstly, my apologies for not updating this blog.. couldnt find the time (alasan kesian)..
lets get to it.. Red Velvet.. uhh.. been wanting to try to make Red Velvet this whole time.. i searched and searched, i decided to go with Azlita's recipe. Believe it or not, my first try was a success.. but let me tell you about before i started to bake this cake..
Coloring.
i was skeptical about coloring.. iye lah, artificial colors amat2 menakutkan okey.. takut la ade side-effects. but if its not red, then it would not be called RED Velvet kan?
i wanted to use the Star Brand color, but some recipes i went thru, used gel coloring. so, i was left undecided.. huhu..
i remembered last time i ordered a RV cake was for my wedding. the baker used bit root, so the cake was naturally red.. hmm.. nnti bila ada masa i will google the recipe and give it a try. dont know where's the photo of the cake.. kalau jumpa i update kat sini lah.. huhu..
back to coloring.. finally i bought #Americolor Super Red and gave it a go..
amacam? cukup merah? red enuf? me happy.. love the color.. hihihiii
Frosting
RVs goes with cream cheese frosting/filling.. i was afraid to give it a try.. somehow, i always dont get the right texture or taste.
i WA a fellow baker i followed on IG, Fadli aka encikrabunjauh. he gave me his recipe. i tried and loved the recipe. worked so well. tq Fadli.
see.. not perfect, but i love love love it.. used star tip #1 for the rosettes.. tq again Fadli for buying me this..
i love how the RV cuppies turned out and tried to make a whole cake pulak..
brought this to the office and my officemates loved them.. the cake, the cream cheese.. it was a proud moment for me. hehehe..
then, i landed on a Naked Red Velvet order.. boy i was nervous like dot dot dot.. i'm ok with friends who order, but when someone i dont know, it freaks me out.. "what if she doesnt like it?", "what if i got a bad review?" cuak taw..
alhamdulillah. customer loved it.. tq Zanariah :-)
so.. that's it about RV.. will update on more things happening when i can make the time..
till then,
Aiza
