Blue......Velvet roll.

Hello all,

 This will be totally non-partisan baking here. Everyone has heard of Red Velvet Cake...yes? If not, you can check Bing or Google images. Quite a nice dessert for sure.

 Enter the world of twisted pumpkin rolls and a quite different dessert presents itself. I call it The Blue Velvet Roll ( no pumpkin added ). 



  The reason that the frosting is brown is because we added the required bakers chocolate to the frosting and not the roll itself. The reason we did that is because if you add the chocolate to the roll, you need to add nearly a full ounce of artificial color to get beyond the brown. The way we did it, it required only 1/16th of an ounce or about 30 drops of color. 

 We are planning to make Green Velvet rolls for next years St Patrick's Day festivities.

 I can only guarantee that you will not find any desserts like these in a Betty Crocker recipe book. For now...mine is blue.
