Red Velvet Birthday

When I was young, my grandma always made a red velvet cake for my birthday!  I looked forward to it each year because that was the only time I got it.  She used buttermilk and 3 bottles of red food coloring so it was only something you made for special occasions and since I was her namesake...
Though I don't get that cake anymore for my birthday, each year our Japanese Maple out front turns red velvet in time for November 3 and this is a celebration.

I remember her making those cakes. But I never particularly cared for them.
