My description has the recipe. Every video that I do does have a recipe listed at the bottom of the description post. This example of icing a cake is with red velvet layers that I made thinner. You put one cup of batter in an eight inch layer. Remember it's eight inch and you bake it for 10 to 15 minutes flip it out. Then you're going to want to freeze these layers. You wrap them really good with plastic wrap and get them in the freezer so that when you ice it you're less likely to get crumbs in the cake. Okay, when you ice the cake make sure you put plenty of icing on it. Put the icing on the top of it and then push it down the side. Of course, I'm going to show you a tip at the end so it really doesn't matter with red velvet. Okay, here's the tip. This is great for red velvet and carrot cake and hummingbird cake.
