Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns

Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns

Flavoured hot cross buns, is it a love it or hate it type of relationship. I certainly fall into the camp that loves the traditional but will absolutely relish in some new flavour combination, even if it is verging on cake. Red Velvet is one of my favourite cakes so naturally these Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns were an absolute must. Each pack comes with 4 hot cross buns that are made from sweetened dough encriched with cocoa powder, buttermilk and soft cream cheese and white and dark chocolate chips. Look at that gorgeous colour! With the sweeter…

Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys

Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys

In collaboration with US brand Georgetown Cupcake, Baileys first launched its Red Velvet flavour back in the Autumn. This was strictly available in the US however if you follow on Instagram you may have seen my post about the Red Velvet Cupcake Baileys having crossed the pond to the UK.  It seemed that this was the only way of getting your hands on this limited edition bottle was through The Bottle Club, however that was until I stumbled across it in Costco no less.  You can purchase this through Amazon here and it has also just hit supermarket shelves.

Chips Ahoy! Red Velvet

Chips Ahoy! Red Velvet

First we had the awful Fox’s Red Velvet Crunch Creams, then the deliciously sweet Red Velvet Oreo and today we have Chips Ahoy! Red Velvet. Yes my obsession with red velvet has intensified but as Valentine’s is almost here I knew I had to have these beauties in my life. I found these in my trusty American import shop aka Longacres Garden Centre. These were just shy of £5.00, yes almost a fiver for a pack of cookies, but I had to have them. Red cookie artificially flavoured with a cream cheese filling topped with cream cheese flavored chips. Per 2 cookies: 140…

Tesco Red Velvet Cookies

Tesco Red Velvet Cookies

With all these Red Velvet goodies gracing our shelves anyone would think that Valentines Day is coming up, not Christmas. With my love of red velvet I am certainly not complaining and instead am embracing the red cocoa delights. Today’s review is all about Tesco Red Velvet Cookies. Tesco are the latest to serve up a variation on the red velvet and have opted for a cookie. For a rounded £1.00 it will give you 5 reasonably sized baked cookies and if you are feeling hungry then these are part of 2 for £1.50.  Soft chewy red cookies with white…

Asda Red Velvet Cheesecake

Asda Red Velvet Cheesecake

Red Velvet is slowly but surely being incorporated into other varieties other than just cake. Red velvet cake is my favourite cake in all the land and I am all for it popping up in other forms just so long as it is done well. Today’s review is in homage to red velvet and is the Asda Red Velvet Cheesecake.  In a rare jaunt to Asda I picked this single cheesecake up from their fresh dessert aisle for £1.50. A little pricey but if you get it on offer for 2 for £2.00 it isn’t too bad.  I hate to report that it…
