Help I need to find!!!!
« on: June 07, 2008, 09:49:19 PM »
Red Velvet Cake mix

Skyco used to carry it but neither them or Cybercandy have any. I need some by the end of the month.

If I can't guess I will have to make it my own. But I don't have a whole lot of time do really make a good size heart shaped one...

Anyone know of any other expat food sites that might carry it?

I had a box of it a while back and my friend just told me that she saw boxes at Selfridges.

I am off to the Trafford Centre tomorrow morning and I will see if they have it. If they do, shall I buy one for you??

Can you not just buy chocolate cake mix and add tons of red food colouring? When I made one from a mix it was just plain old chocolate cake...

I am assuming she's making several layers- as red velvet cake is usually several layers big

Yummy!! I want to see a pic of it when you're finished :)

Has anyone been able to find white icing here (like the betty crocker/duncan hines stuff)?

I found chocolate, but I need white for my 4th of July cake :D

I made this one several years ago...for a friends wedding...and the bottom layer was 8 boxes and I cooked it slowly and it came out fine.

and the middle layer took 5 boxes and the top 2

Strangely enough, our little Budgens carries Betty Crocker Vanilla icing.

Hey MeShell, when do you need it by? There's an ebay store called 'I Shop 4 You' that has loads of Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker cake mixes and frostings. Check it out: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/I-Shop-4-You-II_W0QQfrsrcZ1QQfsubZ9768349QQtZkm

Edit: Doh, I just read you said end of the month.

If you need white icing, just make some buttercream from scratch. Its so easy.
