Admittedly I don't think that's how Mathew made his, but I thought it was worth mentioning. For that matter you can also buy food coloring that is derived from natural products. Beyond that, Slow Food has a lot to do with food heritage as well. Red velvet cake, being the southern classic that it is, fits in in that capacity. Still, it was the thing I liked the least as I said before.

A copious amount of red food coloring is one way to ruin a cake. Oh, and by the way “chef”, there is no such thing as a good red velvet cake! Come on Bill. I can’t believe you would even buy such a concoction. The slow food movement in Italy wouldn’t be too happy if they saw you waving their flag around and then buying red cake.

Especially the prices. They have gone way down and the menu has changed. Lots of desserts from the brilliant mind of Matthew Rice!! Don't worry: Tropicala is still there. It's my favorite as well.
