Flavour notes
What to expect
Red velvet sits between chocolate and vanilla. Mild cocoa gives the cake depth, while the buttermilk tang keeps the flavour balanced.
Paired with vanilla bean buttercream, the velvety crumb and contrasting red-and-white slice suit birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations.
Pairs with
Vanilla bean buttercream
Transport and display
The mud-style crumb travels more securely than a light sponge, while the buttercream finish should still be kept cool so the edges remain neat.
