Red Velvet cake - where to buy in Dublin?

Autumngold16

Hello there,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a bakery who sell red velvet cupcakes or a red velvet layer cake in the Dublin area? It's for my friend's birthday & whilst I know I can make it, I don't trust my baking skills enough to be able to master the recipe by Friday! All help would be greatly appreciated ☺thanks ☺

The Lorraine Pascale recipe for red velvet cake is very easy. I've used the recipe to make both a cake and cupcakes. Everyone loved them. I'd appreciate the effort of someone making me the cakes rather then buying them made. I think you should give it a shot!

It's a fairly simple cake. Standard vanilla sponge, just with added red food colouring when you are mixing.

Then put a cream-cheese icing on top.

Any red velvet cake I've ever had/made has been a buttermilk based cake with cocoa & would have been a bit different to a normal vanilla sponge. I made the Hummingbird bakery recipe for a birthday a few months ago and it went down a treat. I can't think of anywhere off the top of my head in Dublin that makes red velvet cakes OP, you might get a better answer on the Dublin City forum or if you were to look up a few places that make cupcakes/american style bakes in Dublin & give them a buzz

It's definitely not a standard sponge.

Red Velvet as mentioned isn't a standard vanilla sponge, it has buttermilk, cocoa, and often vinegar in it.

I saw Red Velvet Cupcakes in Johnny Cupcakes in Liffey Valley on Sunday - they have kiosks in a few other places too.

There's a Johnny Cupcakes in Stephen's Green too. I've never had their cakes, but the red velvet cupcakes are delicious. Not quite as good as the Hummingbird Cafe, but nearly there!

Poppies in Eniskerry and Dun Laoighre stock a full size Red velvet cake on occasion and can order them in when requested. Very tasty

They used to be in Charlestown Shopping Centre - their cakes a nice - not gorgeous.

I've used the RV Hummingbird recipe loads and they are gorgeous - I'd recommend the cookery book, the vanilla sponge is very light.

They sell Red Velvet cake in the gourmet food parlour in swords.. and it is absolutely amazing.. you can buy it by the slice, I would say it is expensive for the full cake..

but it is amazing.
