Steps:
- For the Red Velvet Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) round layer cake pans.
- Sift flour, baking soda and coco together. Beat sugar and eggs together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix together oil, vinegar, food coloring, and vanilla. Add to the bowl of eggs and sugar and beat until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the wet mixture by alternating the buttermilk and dry ingredients. Always start with the flour and end with the flour.
- Pour batter into pans. Tap them on the table to level out the batter and release air bubbles. Bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted near the middle comes out clean but be careful not to over bake or you'll end up with a dry cake.
- Let layers cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before turning out of pan. Cool completely before frosting.
- For the cream cheese frosting: This is the "official" cream cheese frosting recipe but we always use about 1 1/2 recipes on each cake to cover it well.
- Let margarine and cream cheese soften to room temperature. Cream well. Add sugar and beat until mixed but not so much that the frosting becomes "loose". Add vanilla and nuts. Spread between layers and on top and sides of cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans. In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, chocolate pudding mix, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup of butter with 1 1/2 cup of sugar with an electric mixer until creamy; beat the eggs in, one at a time, and beat until the mixture is fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, in several additions. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the red food color until the batter is uniformly colored. In a bowl, stir the baking soda with vinegar, and gently fold the foamy mixture gently into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- For frosting, place all-purpose flour in a saucepan, and gradually whisk milk into the flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until smoothly combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until thickened and smooth; allow to cool completely. Beat 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 1 minute, and gradually beat in the cooled milk mixture; add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the frosting until fluffy and spreadable, 1 to 2 more minutes.

Steps:
- For the red velvet cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper, then grease with cooking spray and dust with flour.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Combine the buttermilk, vanilla and food coloring in a liquid measuring cup and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until the butter lightens in color. Add the eggs and beat until well combined, 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients to the batter while mixing.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the vinegar in a small bowl, then fold into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the cakes reads 195 to 200 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool cakes in the pans for 15 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cover lightly with a linen towel. Cool completely.
- For the ermine frosting: Meanwhile, heat the milk, sugar and flour in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking continuously, until the mixture becomes thick like pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
- Cream the butter, vanilla and salt together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat until the frosting lightens in color and becomes fluffy, at least 1 minute.
- Place one cake layer on a cake board. Using a spoon or offset spatula, spread frosting generously over the top of the cake in a smooth layer. Invert the second cake layer onto the first so that the flat side is facing up, then spread the remaining frosting over the top of the cake, creating swirls in the frosting with the spoon or spatula. Transfer the cake to a cake stand and decorate the top of the cake and the stand with edible flowers and flower petals.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly spray a large (18-by-12-inch) sheet cake pan (or you can use a slightly smaller jelly roll pan) with nonstick baking spray. Be sure to get in all the corners of the pan.
- Sift together the cake flour and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, stir together the buttermilk, vanilla, baking soda and eggs. Add the vinegar and stir. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the cocoa and red food coloring. Set aside. Cream together the shortening and sugar until fluffy. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk/egg mixture until all combined. Pour in the red mixture and beat until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared sheet cake pan. Use a large offset spatula or knife to even out the surface. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- Place a large cutting board on top of the cake pan, then invert the cake, allowing it to turn out onto the cutting board. Allow the cake to cool completely before icing.
- Combine the milk and flour in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly until thick. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the vanilla once cooled.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled milk mixture and beat very well. It may look separated, which means you have to keep beating until fully combined. It should be fluffy and light, similar to whipped cream.
- Ice the cake and top with raspberries.
