- Additional Comments: I know what you're thinking, "why do they keep getting red velvet cakes from grocery stores and gas stations?" You might think we're crazy but any time I see anything red velvet, I have to check it out. When I was at Jewel the other day with my mom, standing in the check-out line, I spotted this cake roll. I knew I couldn't eat this whole "loaf" (it came in a package that resembled a loaf of bread) of red velvet, especially since I knew it wasn't going to live up to my standards. That's why when I saw it at a church potluck dinner, I was pleasantly surprised that I got another chance to taste this cake. Along with my many other desserts, (I'm allowing myself to get fat this thanksgiving week) I took a slice of this thing. I brought it back to my chair, anticipating the delight of red velvet. I took a bite and immediately wanted a sip of water. It was very dry. The chocolate flavor, however, was surprisingly delicious. I took a scoop of the cream cheese swirled in the center of the dessert. It was kind of a let-down, being only slightly cream cheese-y. This experience has shown me that red velvet can be found in the strangest of places. I know never to judge a package or its manufacturer by its cover.
~We give this cupcake 2.5 out of 5 stars~
