I’ve been tasked with making a red velvet cake for my nieces graduation. I’m not a big fan of red velvet, so I’ve never personally made one…I think I’ve nailed down a recipe, but any advice would be appreciated!

But also

She isn’t a fan of a lot of rich/sweet frosting. I know red velvet is usually frosted with cream cheese frosting, would it be weird if I used vanilla buttercream? Or should I just have a thinner coat of cream cheese frosting? Help! Super over thinking this. Thanks!

I’m trying to plan my trip to the Sioux Hustler trail, and trying to find what the distances between campsites are. Yes, I have a map, and yes I’ve measured and use the scale, but I come up 1.5 miles short on the total distance.

Anyway

I’ve googled to no avail. Does anyone know where I can find this info, either on a website or in a book? Thanks!

I have an old REI kingdome that’s too big for just me and the dog. However, I really want a “glamping” tent that I can stand up in, and that will fit a cot.

I was looking at a Wawona vs an REI Wayward (both the 4 person size) and with both, I’m really concerned that the rain flies don’t cover the entire tent. I’m not the kind of person to pack up and go home if there’s a thunderstorm.

Any recommendations for a big but not too big tent that will hold up? I’m also not a Coleman fan. TIA!
