This review isn't an elegant articulation, it's just the hard truth. My Lady ordered a full size Red Velvet cake for my birthday party. She is a vegetarian and I am not. Everyone at the party absolutely did not enjoy the cake!! Even my Lady! $45 for a cake, when we could have drank a bottle of vegetable oil and had the same experience.
The frosting is essentially coagulated vegetable oil, and the cake is bland. A lot of the guests didn't like any of it. I personally didn't mind the cake, but hated the frosting.
Don't buy the cake! It's so oily!
I'm not even sure how these other people might have enjoyed it. I can only fathom what they eat normally, should they think this cake taste good. Perhaps those payments for positive reviews help.
