White lines, visions dreams of passion
When I was reading about Darlene's caketasting adventures, I noticed that they tried a white velvet cake. I have never eaten anything but red velvet and the idea of white intrigued me. I altered my red velvet recipe a bit and played with some of the ingredient amounts. I got a very light, VERY tasty cake that had the kids begging for more. Yay, you always want that.
Instead of making a typical red velvet frosting (that uses flour) or even a cream cheese (blech, disgusting), did I mention I hate cream cheese? - I made a mascarpone frosting. Er, also, it's all I had in my fridge. It was lightweight and creamy, a perfect compliment to the cake. I sprinkled them with teeny edible pearls for a little sparkle.
I'm glad to see that Darlene put her caketasting notepad to good use. Hooray! (Man, that Paul is one hard to please mofo.)

I so need a cupcake now. Yum.
Whoa... it sounds seriously delicious!
Great idea to do a White Velvet cake! It's a good alternative if you don't want to use all of the red food colouring too :)
OMG! I am in love. This has got to be my favorite of anything you've made and I haven't even tasted it yet! The pink pearls on the white frosting, I think it's gorgeous. And all you had to say was mascarpone frosting and you had me. Of course with the velvet cake - all I can say is WOW. Lovin' this post!
I'm going to have to try that soon. my son makes the best red velvet cake I've had yet, so I think he'll be intrigued.
