Ill be making the red velvet cake for a special valentine dessert…. live love laugh bake
There could only be one Shirley Boone that could make a Red VELVET cake that looked like that and believe me if you never had a piece of hers you don’t know what you have missed. She was one awesome lady. I never went anywhere with her that she didn’t know someone there or knew somebody they knew or was related too. If you needed to know where to find something or somebody to help you she was your go to person. What a lost!
