Hello everyone, I made this beautiful Gluten and Dairy Free Red Velvet Cake last week for my parents. It was a thank you for them taking me to my latest hospital tests and rather selfishly something nice for me to eat when I got out! I don’t like to add too much red colouring as I still like it to look natural. You can also add more in if you want a more vibrant colour.
As I’ve talked about before, I’m currently completely rebuilding the website. It is pretty time consuming but hopefully the results will be worth it. Thanks to everyone that has been answering my questions on social media about the features that matter to you. Interestingly enough the answers vary depending on the platform. Hundreds of you answer on instagram that they wanted one baking section. On twitter and facebook only a few people answered but wanted a separate baking and dessert section. Not sure what that tells me …
