I've never even had red velvet cake! icon_redface.gif Are you normally a scratch baker? I usually doctor up boxes but I'm wanting to try scratch recipes, I've just been intimidated. icon_redface.gif Was the red velvet pretty moist? I've heard alot of times scratch cakes can be dry? I'm hoping not because I would love to be a scratch baker! Confetti Cakes recipes look sooooo good, I hope they will turn out for me!

when i started i used mixes, but i've now gone to all scratch baking. the confetti cakes recipe is really pretty easy. and all the recipes i've decided to keep have been moist. i spent a while baking different recipes to see which ones i liked best. if you're going to start with scratch baking, i'd say that red velvet cake is a good one to learn with! and so is toba garrett's chocolate fudge cake. you can't get much easier than that one! its listed on epicurious.com if you want to try it.

Thanks becca! Do you use a scale to measure your ingredients?

i should use a scale, and i will prolly buy one sometime. but for right now i just have the old measureing cups. they've been good enough. i would really like to have a scale mostly for measuring shortening. i hate getting it out of a cup!

Pampered chef has a fantastic, plunger type measuring cup that is perfect for measuring shortening, peanut butter, etc. I was guilted into buying it years ago (niece was selling the product) and now I am glad I did. thumbs_up.gif

i just got this from the library. It did have an inserted paper. I guess there was a typo and the sugar cookie should have said 2 1/2 not 4 1/2.
