Royal Blue Velvet Cake image

This fun twist on the classic Red Velvet Cake takes on a new, blue hue in this Royal Blue Velvet Cake recipe. By combining three tiers of fluffy royal blue cake and sweet marshmallow creme icing, this blue velvet cake recipe is impressive and delicious. When looking to achieve the royal blue coloring, remember to use paste food color rather than liquid or gel food color. Working with liquid or gel food color will cause the color of your Royal Blue Velvet Cake to vary. This cake is certainly baked in history as the recipe was inspired by the royal heirloom sapphire engagement ring.
