See how the picture of the cake shows the nuts on the side? I have a cookbook that suggests that to do that, one should frost the side of the cake and then pick up the layer cake and roll it on it's side through nuts. Maybe I'm just a negative thinker but I am pretty damn sure that I'd break the cake if I tried that.

All of my birthday cakes for the last 19 years have been red velvett cakes. Damn they are good.

All of mine have been Angelfood cakes. I may have to rename it to velvettfood cake though.

Ahhhhh


That angel food cake would be topped with fresh sliced strawberries that have been sprinkled with sugar and Grand Marnier then a generous dollup of fresh whipped heavy cream.

Uh, yeah........ red velvett cakes are notoriously fragile....

It's easier just to grab a handful of nuts & press them into the side of the cake.... although it does make a mes...

*swoon* A woman after my own cravings. Or is that a woman I crave constantly? No wait, I'm getting the vision now. Velvett laying naked on my bed, sprinkled with whipped cream, strawberries, and a splash of Gran Marnier in her naval. Yummmmmmm


Oh, I skipped the sugar intentionally since I know that you're sweet enough all on your own.
