Red Velvet Cake Recipe
12/26/2023 | Tommy Revolts

Posted on 12/26/2023 1:09:13 PM PST by Tommy Revolts

We made our (famous) Red Velvet Cake for Christmas Dessert. My wife did the hard work.

Now everybody wants the recipe and I refuse to give it up.

I have even offered to make them one, but I'm not giving up the recipe.

Am I wrong? My wife thinks I'm being a bit selfish.

Yes. You are being selfish.

Go ahead and post the recipe, here.

I won’t tell anyone.

Do you think your friends only like you for your red velvet cake?

Are you planning to build a business around selling it?

Do you think your friends might take your recipe and start the business you can't or won't, and then you will be envious of them?

Do you think your friends will start going to each others' homes because they will make the cake more frequently than you, and eventually they will stop coming over to your place?

Are you holding out for a "famous" recipe from one of your friends that you can trade for?

Is it your own recipe you created? If yes then you don’t have to. It was gracious of you to offer to make another cake.

Or do what housewives did back in the day, sneaky and underhanded. Share the recipe but leave out an ingredient so the friends cake never comes out the same as yours. <-— people actually do that, I wouldn’t. Seems cowardly.

I got a new mixer for Christmas. Looking for recipe to test it out. Send me your red velvet one as I don't do cakes. It will be good test for both. Thanks

My wife refuses to let me share her grandmother’s Irish Shortbread recipe. It is really good. I don’t tell her I modified the recipe, and it is better.

It is selfish but so what? People creating things then insisting on getting paid for it is how nations create greatness. Taking their profits and giving it away to invading hoards is how to destroy a great nation.

The red food coloring comes from bug guts.

No, you are not selfish. It is your recipe.

There are plenty of RVC recipes online. They could do their own search. Be sure to get the ones that call for sour cream, 1 oz bottle of red food coloring, and use a cream cheese frosting.

Thanks. I’ll send them that one. They will never ask for another recipe from me again. Perfect.

Share the recipe but leave out an ingredient so the friends cake never comes out the same as yours.

Marie Barone did that to her DIL, Debra Barone

You posted a thread to tell everyone that you have a recipe you won’t show them?

Looks like you got your recipe from Bobby Vinton.
