Blue Velvet Cake Recipe
Red is the most popular, but this is great. I just love this blue velvet cake!
Actually, I love them both! The taste is unique and just sweet enough.
I’m trying to get healthy recipes and go gluten-free. But I don’t know how to cut out gluten completely. For one thing, most of that is a lot more expensive. Not all of it though. Anyway, this is just a regular cake, but I do have a gluten-free cake mix I’m going to make next. I’ll let you all know how it tastes.If you have any gluten-free recipes, I’d love to have a link to them
. This cake turned out delicious. The icing is cotton candy, but cream cheese would be great! The kids voted for that kind, so I put it on for them. And it is really good.

What an awesome idea! And not just for Frozen parties as Kamla suggests, but for the Tiffany loving brigade too

This is a great alternative to Red Velvet cake and with Disney’s Frozen being all the rave for party themes, I can see it starring at many a party.
