My son loves colored pastries. One day he asked if bread can be red like red velvet cake. So I thought of my favorite beet as a good sauce of the colour. Being a big fan of ginger, I decided to fuse both flavors together...believe me it's wow! If time permits I'll twist this recipe with nutmeg and hibiscus(zobo) flavor for a redder effect which the beet didn't exactly give me..lol
