Red Velvet Cake — Three Layers, Two Sizes
Red velvet, done the classic way: deep red crumb, cream cheese buttercream.
Red velvet is a cake people feel strongly about. The ones they remember are cocoa-forward with a little tang, and the ones they don't are just red food colouring in a vanilla sponge.
Ours is the first kind. Three layers of proper red velvet, finished in cream cheese buttercream, which is the pairing the cake is supposed to have — the tang is what makes red velvet work, and it's the reason a plain buttercream version always tastes flatter.
How it's built
- Three layers of red velvet cake — cocoa and buttermilk giving it both the colour and the flavour, not just the colour
- Vanilla cream cheese buttercream — tangy, rich and less sweet than a straight buttercream. The classic finish.
- Made to order, for your date — nothing sitting in a fridge waiting for a buyer
Two sizes
- 6 inch — $100 · feeds 6 to 8 ($12.50–$16.67 a head)
- 8 inch — $155 · feeds 10 to 15 ($10.33–$15.50 a head)
The 8-inch is the better value per person — 55% more money for 67 to 88% more cake. Around ten people, size up.
Why it's worth the price
- Three layers, filled and stacked by hand. Every layer levelled, filled and frosted individually — an hour of somebody's afternoon, not a mix poured into a tin.
- Cream cheese buttercream is not cheap and not easy. It costs more than plain buttercream, and it's less forgiving to work with on a tall cake. It's also the only frosting that makes red velvet taste right.
- Cocoa, not just colour. The flavour in a good red velvet comes from cocoa. When someone says a red velvet cake "tastes like nothing," that's what's missing.
- It holds. Cream cheese frosting sets properly, so this cake travels and sits out on a table well.
