Reva can’t stand the thought of all that food colour, but I was inspired to back a red velvet cake this Christmas, after having some made by my friend, Sara. Plus Souvik and Ma were arriving on Christmas eve, so why not make a party of it and celebrate Mia’s first birthday?

I picked the recipe from www.joyofbaking.com, only halved the quantity. And a babybel cheese ‘cake’ for the birthday girl.

Took a little while to ‘bow’ the cat, but was so worth the effort.

We all loved our treats! Yumm!!
