Red, White, and Blue Velvet Sandwich Cakes
In light of the upcoming holiday, I wanted to bake something festive over the weekend to share with my coworkers today during our deployment meeting. For the past few weeks, we’ve had different people on the team bring in goodies, so I decided to volunteer this time. I’ve always been a fan of sandwich cakes – think Little Debbie! In fact, I was teased at work today and they called me Little Krissy! *sigh*
In any case, we made the top of the sandwich cake with a red velvet batter, the middle is cream cheese frosting, and the bottom is blue velvet batter (which didn’t turn the blue color we wanted). But I am happy that my coworkers loved them, even though they are complaining that they will have to run a few miles to burn them off!
Start by preparing the dry ingredients for the red batter (please click on the recipe link below the post for all the ingredients).
Next, whisk together the wet ingredients.
After adding the red food coloring into the wet ingredients, combine the dry ingredients, and mix well.
I used a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out the batter - this will give it a good size that is not too small or too big. Remember to give each scoop some distance on the baking sheet so when they expand, it doesn't connect to each other. Put this into a 375-degree oven for 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the blue velvet cake batter. It's exactly the same ingredients as the red, except for the blue food coloring.
When the red tops are done, let them cool completely. This recipe will yield 30 red cake tops, and 30 blue cake tops.
Create the cream cheese frosting by following the recipe that we have provided.
To assemble each sandwich cake, put the cream cheese frosting in a piping bag and squeeze it onto each blue cake, and place the red cake on top.
You will find that the sandwich cake is moist and sweet - a perfect festive treat for celebrating the 4th of July. Happy Independence Day, everyone!

Those are very cute! And delicious-looking too! Especially with the cream cheese frosting- my favorite.
Very cute cakes for the 4th of July!
I’m one of Daniels lucky co-workers who tried his 4th of July treats, and they were awesome!
Also, this weekend I utilized two of Daniels recipes (Skewers Kabob, and Aji Sauce), which turned out to be quite a success. I literally ran out of food, and have never received so many compliments for my cooking before :O
Very festive for the upcoming July 4th:)
These such fabulous sweet treats and so perfect for the 4th of July! Excellent!
Mmmm, like a whoopie pie but more festive, that’s for sure.
Favy – thanks for the comment! We are so happy that you enjoyed the sandwich cakes, and we’re thrilled to hear that the recipes you tried were a success! I will have to tell Daniel to bring in more goodies to work! Keep reading and cooking!

I have yet to try those Oreo Cakesters. They are always so tempting, but I try to be good and refrain from it! But now that you mentioned it, I think I will get a box next time. Ugh!
