A surprise birthday party was thrown for a friend of mine on Saturday night. I think he had a minor heart attack when we all yelled surprise right after he turned on the lights. The birthday cake was the three-layer 9-inch Red Velvet cake from the well-known Magnolia Bakery in New York City. I thought it was a little dry, but the frosting balanced it out very well. While I was cutting the cake for everyone, some person asked me what it was made of. I told him it was some sort of chocolate/cocoa base w/ red food coloring. He didn’t believe me because it was so red. I should have told him it was made out of cow blood or something.
