“Berry Red Velvet”

expand all pictures

Red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. Rustic palette finish with vanilla buttercream frosting and fresh fruits: cherries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and fresh mint.

Cake was a late request, whilst I had visitors staying, so I had limited time available.
I needed something relatively quick and easy.

It also had to travel 5hrs in an un-airconditioned vehicle in the middle of the Australian summer.

It was baked, filled and covered the day before, then frozen. Soft upon arrival, but easily “touched up”, then stacked, with berries added a couple of hours before the party.

For a 40 year old male birthday.

Beautiful cake, Julez! Looks really fresh, perfect for Summer!!! Good idea to freeze it before travelling. I might take you up on that idea, Summer in Malta can be really hot!! We don’t have a lot of travelling to do here, Malts being such a small island, but a cake could be freezed before it is taken out on display during a party hours before it is eaten.

Thanks Marlene!… I knew this family event was coming up, months in advance… but due to the Australian summer heat, distance we had to travel, and the timing with other events… it was one that I did not offer to make the cake. I got asked a couple of days before the event, when a special long-distance visitor was staying with us… so it was a compromise between a low stress alternative and something that would make it in good condition.
It was well received though, following a full baked and glazed lamb on the spit!
