My friend Alana hosted a "Galaxy Quest"-themed party this past weekend, complete with blue jello shots and blue mixed drinks, yum! So of course, I wanted to make a dessert and I wanted it to be blue. Red velvet cake is my favorite cake of all cakes! Thus, I decided to try to make it with blue food coloring instead and see how it turned out. I used an angel food cake recipe for the base and added a tablespoon of cocoa powder in an attempt to keep the cake from turning greenish from the egg yolks in normal red velvet recipes. Because of the angel food base, the cake turned out with a much lighter flavor than red velvet, which is usually super rich. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the syrup to the party.

Usually because when I see them I'm usually out and about and cursing the rain and its effect on my shoes but then a rainbow suddenly appears and instantly everything is all right with the world again.

I was snapping a picture of a rainbow while shopping on Oxford Street and a group of chic fashionistas walked past me holding bags that weighed more than they did.

They paused and looked at what I was photographing. They looked up and stared in wonder stopping for about 10 seconds to admire the rainbow and coo over its beauty. Nobody hates a rainbow and I'm convinced people that hate rainbows also want to punch soft toys and run over pandas. I was inspired by the Zebra Cheesecake that I made a few months ago. I almost wished that I hadn't iced it because the effect of the cake by itself is pretty enough as it is. So tell me Dear Reader, do you stop and admire rainbows? Five-Minute Chocolate Mug Cake.
