Tutorial of the Week
Edgar Allan Poe Red Velvet Cake. In celebration of the Halloween month, we’re highlighting one of my favorite Gothic poet / writers, Edgar Allan Poe. Since he was a little looney...ok, very looney...we decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to turn him into a cake and eat him. Yes, that sounds morbid but not as morbid as slaying your roommate and burying his dismembered body underneath your floorboards.
