A customer placed an order for a 6" cake with accompanying "cupcakes" for a birthday celebration. The cake was to be covered in fondant and the colors were to be the same as a pair of shoes that the birthday girl (my customer) was wearing to the event. The "cupcakes" were in fact roses which were pink velvet cake. Unique right? When I heard pink velvet, I thought not a problem. Pink is just a few shades lighter than red, piece of cake! (get the pun?) Anyways, who knew that when you add pink food coloring to a chocolate cake it is no longer pink? At least not the type of pink you invision in your mind when you hear the color pink. Well, now you know. So ultimately it was a pink velvet cake, just more of a dark (very dark) shade of pink. The pink velvet roses were nestled on a bed of cream cheese frosting dyed in complimentary colors to match the shoes. Overall it turned out well, even though that day was very humid and muggy.
