Creating the Mini Red Velvet Wreath Cake is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delightful outcome:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a wreath-shaped baking pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until fully combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared wreath-shaped pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: While the cake cools, prepare your cream cheese frosting. Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
9. Decorate: Once the cake is completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over the top and sides. Use a piping bag to create decorative swirls if desired.
10. Add Decorations: Finish off with edible decorations like sprinkles, berries, or mint leaves to enhance the festive look.
