Me and my girlfriend have been on the hunt for the best red velvet cake in Atlanta, and I believe we’ve found the spot. We’ve been to numerous locations that simply sell chocolate cake with some red dye and call it “Red Velvet Cake,” when in reality it’s not. THIS is the spot to go if you’re looking for some ACTUAL red velvet cake that your grandma used to make for those after-church lunches!
The cake itself is absolutely delicious. It’s soft and moist, practically melting in your mouth. None of that dry, firm cake that sat in the oven for far too long. And the icing used for the cake? Phenomenal, great cream cheese taste that pairs perfectly with the red velvet flavor. Not only is it the best red velvet we’ve had, it’s truthfully one of the best desserts we’ve had. Once you eat one, it’s hard not to go for another. I can say for a fact, if you’re looking for that genuine red velvet flavor, this is the place to go!
Chef April was also kind enough to gift us 6 additional cupcakes, on top of 2 fresh-out-of-the-oven cupcakes to try while we were waiting for her to package our ordered cupcakes. They were absolutely delicious out of the oven, but even when we returned home, the cupcakes that had rested were just as good. She is a kind soul who obviously loves and understands her craft! We will be returning in the future, and I hope anyone who is reading this review gives her a chance to show you why to come to The Velvet Bar.
