I can’t tell you how much money that saved, but it certainly didn’t help my red velvet binges. 🙂 So, if you’re searching for a dessert for the week, this red velvet recipe will have the whole family raving!

Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze Tips

Depending on how much I want to coat my red velvet bundt cake on the first pass, I may switch up my glaze mix a tad. If you’d like to coat the entire cake evenly, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin out your consistency. I poured my glaze on thin and evenly to frost the entire outside. After cooling firm cake in the fridge, I added additional powdered sugar to thicken my glaze for the drizzled ribbons.

Alternatively, you can prepare or thicken your glaze with sweetened condensed milk. I love the thick consistency and sweet flavoring of condensed milk. I think I got hooked from making too many tres leches cakes!
