Any Occassion

I agree with your son Red Velvet Cake is good for any occasion, so much so when I got married last year my groom's cake was A Red Velvet Cake! Made esp. for me by my brother who makes the best damn Red Velvet Cake on this side of Dixie. Once the guest found out that he made it, it was gone faster than the wedding cake that my sister made.

Here's an easy, reliable way to ensure a moist and flavorful turkey...simply baste the turkey with chicken stock during roasting. When the turkey is done, use a bit more stock to make a quick and tasty gravy.
