Oprah loves it—at least she chose it as one of her favorite things in the February 2007 issue of O Magazine: the rich, smooth red velvet cake baked by Rockland County-based wholesaler Carousel Cakes (866-659-2253). And this month, American Heart Month, the bakery will donate $3 to the American Heart Association for every red velvet cake it sells. The cost to you? Why, $41.95 for a seven-inch cake, which serves six to 10. Order online or go to one of the five county stores that carry Carousel Cakes:
