I would love to win cheffactor as I just finished an Msc in Food science and having the chance to get experience, in both Ballymaloe and with Cully and Sully, would really help me to decide what food career I want.Also,I love to bake especially cakes for special occasions.However, I don't have the same confidence for starters and main courses.Doing the 12 week course would give me the knowledge and skills to cook a meal not just the dessert!
You have 500 characters to tell us about your dish: 
The dish I have made is Red Velvet cake.It is a red coloured sponge cake which has a slight chocolate flavour.It is sandwiched together with vanilla buttercream icing and the whole cake is covered with white frosting.The frosting is soft and creamy and gives a wow factor when the cake is cut when the white frosting contrasts with the red cake.

Hi mysterious critic, the

Hi mysterious critic,
the red colour comes from red food colouring added to buttermilk. The cake has a slight chocolate flavour, not what you'd expect.
Thanks
