Recipe: Easy Homemade Red Velvet Cake With Cream Cheese Icing.

One of the best things about this season is that it allows you to experiment with different kinds of food.

 It encourages you to practice baking and pick up new abilities every day. I chose to make a red velvet cake this weekend since I was craving something luxurious and not overly sugary. I don't regret it at all because it was well worth it- after all she is the Queen of Cakes!
