Oh Baby

A space cake. From a space case. For an absolute icon.

I would die for this Pineapple Boy.

06/18/2022

First of all - look at this cutie 🥰

Secondly - Major plot twist. I did not die. I did not close up shop. My life has just been consumed by my day job (rude. (not rude. please still employ me.))

BUT don’t you worry my beautiful little kittens. We are back in action and our ovens are going hard this week - during a heat wave no less!

So get ready to get the party restarted with our collective favorite food - sugar! 🤤

The one good thing about Mondays. Is it’s the beginning of a whole new week filled with infinite possibilities to eat cake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, second dinner, dessert, and fourth meal 🥰

02/04/2022

Took a little break in January, but we’re back to baking. Starting with this perfectly precious strawberry bebe. Bring on the baby showers, y’all 🥰

12/28/2021

And that’s a s**ggy wrap on 2021. I can’t wait to see what we’re gonna do in 2022, kittens 🎉

And now, it’s nap time. ❤️u

Save a slice for Santa

If the Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers Christmas album we’re a cake, this would be it.
I don’t make the rules. I just live by them 🤶🏻

12/20/2021

Have you ever seen a cake design and wondered why more people don’t really make it a thing?
Well after 18ish hours of piping minuscule dots one by one onto this cake, I now understand why. But she’s still a festive little girl, isn’t she?! ❤️
Happy Honda Days, kids! 🎄

12/15/2021

What do we do?!
BAKE MORE COOKIES ❤️
When do we do it?!
ALL THE F’N TIME 🎉

12/04/2021

Note to self: make more s**g cakes in 2022 🧐

11/26/2021

It’s the Bagel Bites jingle. But s’mores cookies 🤤

11/23/2021

If you’re gonna turn one, you gotta be cute as hell when you do it. Aaaand that’s where I come in 💪🏻

11/11/2021

Oh. Hello. I have not died but I have been swimming in a sea of so many cookies, my hands may well be sugar at this point….the best problem to have!

With that said, we have been deep in prepping a ton of y’all’s thanksgiving and Christmas orders and I am very close to closing my books for the rest of the year!

So if you even have the FaInTeSt idea that you might wanna share some cake, cookies, all of the above with friends, family, coworkers, or clients, sprint don’t jog to my inbox! Time is strangely and very quickly running out!

And to all of y’all who have been putting in insanely wonderfully kind orders for the holidays, you’re the loveliest kind of people ❤️

Got to make a cute AF cake for a special AF wedding this weekend.

This baby is filled with birthday cake and some custom-created chocolate birthday frosting and chocolate birthday crunchies. She couldn’t have been any more fun AF to put together ❤️

SPOOPY

10/15/2021

Somehow, this year is almost over. Since when?!?! BUT that does mean, I officially have all my current available dates for the rest of the year up on my website.
So if you've been jonesin for some cookies, cake, Macs, puffs, or whatever else I concoct between now and then, now is the time to lock your dates in the calendar! They won't be available for long, so don't dilly dally like I tend to do on literally everything.

Birthday cake inside. Birthday PARTAY outside.

10/06/2021

If there’s one thing I am, it’s a space case. And if there’s one thing I love, it’s the hot fudge all up inside this Space Case 🥰

10/04/2021

✨All that glitters is cake, my friends ✨

09/29/2021

I don’t care if it’s 80-something degrees outside today, I am fully feeling my fall fantasy in the kitchen right about now. This is cake 1 of 2 for a magically majestic wedding happening this weekend, and fun fact, a version of her could be yours soon!
Let’s just go ahead and call her The Fall Fantasy. She’s built on layers of apple spice cake, cinnamon butter cream, fried apples (you know, like the almost liquid gold they serve at Cracker Barrel!), and apple crisp crunchies.
Go ahead, grab your pumpkin spice, your scarf, and your over-the-knee boots. It’s fall y’all!
You know the drill, head to https://bit.ly/FallFantasyCake to order this baby for yourself!

09/24/2021

It’s official, kittens. First few cakes in our brand new kitchen are in the books. My cabinet full of sprinkles might be my favorite part, but boy is this gonna be a fun baking adventure. We have SO much more room for activities!

09/14/2021

Hiya lovers. I know that I have been MIA for what feels like an eternity, BUT we are finally moved into our new house and our new kitchen and our new extra downstairs freezer! (How suburban!) So Velvet In Red is back up and running and ready to party with each and every one of you kittens!

08/29/2021

Brucey is my specialist boy (🤫) and I always have a strange amount of fun when I get to put him together - probably because I make a little extra chocolate pudding filling for a post-decorating snack.

But I am high-key obsessed with how beautiful this weekend’s birthday Brucey came together. 🥰

The Trunchbull is shaking.

08/27/2021

Y’all have really made The Arnie the cake of the summer. I don’t think a week has gone by in the past two months that I haven’t had one of these bad boys in the works.
But I’m kind of extra in love with this Arnie because he’s just so dang CUTE!! 🥰🥰🥰

08/20/2021

Tiers of a clown 🤡

I don’t know if you kittens know this, but I get nervous EVERY time I deliver or y’all come pick up a cake. And my family hears for hours afterwards how anxious I am to hear about it after it’s left my clutches. Each and every one of your orders means SO much to me and I just want to make sure that I give you my heart and soul in every cake. So whether you order from me in the future, just try one of my desserts in passing, or have ordered from me before, just know that I adore you and making you happy is my favorite thing in the world ❤️ okbye

08/16/2021

Guys. I kind of want to cry a little, because y’all have made August my craziest, best-selling, most magical month to date and we’re only halfway through it! You’re all perfect and amazing in every way. But you knew that.

And because y’all are so marvelous to bring me into your birthday, wedding, baby, just-because celebrations, I want to make sure that I am able to fit all of y’all in in the upcoming months…I am actually preparing to move (to a new kitchen with TWO WHOLE OVENS!) and I’ll be able to fit even more of y’all in soon. But that means I’ll be out of commission for 1-2 weeks in September and I am fully booked outside of 1 week in October.

So please make sure you’re getting your orders in sooner than later for the rest of the year - especially as we start thinking about November & December. (WHAT?!) Head to the website or send me an email to get your orders started and to reserve your date because somehow they are going FAST!

As always, I love you kittens.

08/09/2021

You just KNOW it’s gonna be a good day when it starts with cake for breakfast.

07/30/2021

Like Dani Rojas, I too had the cake yips for a second.
But Arnie never lets me down and he can always bring the sunshine back to this crazy cake operating business 💛
Can’t wait to share this one for a super special and super adorable baby shower!

As always, you know I live, laugh, LOVE a theme. And if you’ve been even remotely within earshot from me over the past few weeks, you’ll know it was my Dad’s birthday on the 14th.
…And his first birthday since he did the whole going to the GrEaT bEyOnD thing.
So of course, we’re celebrating her with a whole lotta desserts & even more hotdogs this weekend. Hence, this cute AF, naked AF birthday cake that really just puts a smile on my soul.
Remember guys, celebrate birthdays. They’re the best. And so is birthday cake ❤️

Well, someone was crazy enough to want to know more about my Velvet In Red story. So if you're curious about my delusional baking history & my dead dad, girl do I have a rambling interview for you!
In all reality, this is such a small operation that I pour my heart and soul into, so for anyone to be curious enough to want to know more and to share it on a public platform 1. made me think it was a scam 2. made my heart grow three sizes.

http://voyageatl.com/interview/life-work-with-kellie-dickinson-of-old-4th-ward/

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kellie Dickinson. Hi Kellie, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers? My entire life, I have been surrounded by food – […]

Three words: I’m so sorry.

1. For this cake that’s about to change your life and 2. For being so MIA.

July is a rough month for your girl so my availability has been SUPER limited. But for those of you who have been squeezing in where you can, bless you ❤️ but just because I’m busy with other things for a few weeks, don’t you dare think I’m not always scheming up new ways to fck up your day.

SPEAKING OF….meet The Space Case. Inspired by & including Cosmic Brownies, this cake has made me shed a Yoo-hoo stained tear or three. Put on your seatbelts and your space suits because we’re flying off the space with a chocolate milk cake, a Yoo-hoo soak, chocolate milk frosting, HOT FUDGE SAUCE, chocolate milk crunchies, AAAND a crown of cosmic brownies & cosmic brownie chips.

Please file all complaints with my assistant, puppy Saban. He responds in 30-89 years ❤️

This weekend, every hotdog requires a side of cake. I don’t make the rules. ‘Merica does. Enjoy your hotdogs this weekend lovers 💙

07/02/2021

A little top of a little cutie made with a whole lotta love this week 🥰

My favorite thing lately is that so many of y’all have been reaching out to me for birthday cakes that are for you and no one else.

To me, there are very few things better than a special, sugary birthday moment just to yourself. Because you’re perfect and you’re a star and you’re deserve nice things that you don’t have to share with anyone else ❤️❤️❤️

Is there any sandwich that makes you feel more like a kid than a PB&J?! If you disagree, cash me outside.
But anywayyys, meet mine and your new favorite macarons - PB&J With The Crust Cut Off!

These childhood classics are made with the perfect pairing of coloful macs, whipped peanut butter cream filling and a sweet splash of grape jelly. Just like mom or dad or grandma or aunt Judy used to make.

06/27/2021

I have been elbows, knees, and toes deep in cookies this past week, so I’ve been a little MIA. BUT while prepping all of your precious & patriotic 4th of July orders, I have been making some sweet matcha magic on the side.

I know some of y’all have had some very dirt-adjacent matcha desserts before, but I don’t like being outside so we are nowhere near the dirt end of the matcha spectrum.

These ‘Spill The Tea’ cookies have the perfectly subtle sweetness of matcha and the overly abundant joy of white chocolate chunks.

If you’ve been curious about the world of matcha, let me tell you, these cookies are EV.E.RY.THING you need in your life. And I say that with full confidence because I have forced them on some very cherished & delighted test subjects. 💚♥️💚
