Steps

1

For the red velvet, use my red velvet recipe from this group. Pour the water in a stainless steel bowl and sprinkle the gelatin. Leave for around 5 mins
2

Put a big sufuria with water on a source of heat and let it boils. Place the stainless steel bowl in the sufuria and let it float in the boiling water
3

Stir and add glucose then stir till it's dissolved and plain. Add the flavor and stir
4

Pour icing sugar in another bowl and remove a handful to help when kneading
5

Make a hole in the icing and pour the wet contents. Place it on a table and Knead till it's well formed.
6

Add your food colour and knead till it's all incorporated. I used pink food colour
7

Store in a zip lock bag and put in a closed container overnight.
8

Use it the next day and if it's too firm, use a little glucose syrup to soften it.

Take your red velvet cake
