I hope you are having a wonderful summer Saturday wherever you are. I made some little red velvet cakelets to celebrate Independence day. I only cheated a little… I had a couple of layers in the freezer from the last time I made red velvet cake (I made extra to save). This is the first time I’ve frozen red velvet cake, but after almost two months in the freezer, it tastes fresh. Each cakelet is topped with cream cheese frosting in white and blue.
I used the smallest ring in my cutter set (similar to this one at Sur la Table) to cut the 9″ round layers into cakelets. Then using my largest star tip, I made swirlies of white. And the smallest star tip to make little blue tips.
