Birthday Cake

A little bit of braggin’:

For Hubby’s birthday a couple of weeks ago, I made this cake.

There’s a small surprise on the inside.

Yes! It’s a Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake from the recipe made famous by Recipe Girl.

And it was D E L I C I O U S !!!

It was my first Red Velvet Cake ever, and Camilla V. Saulsbury’s recipe from Piece of Cake worked like a charm.

I had also never made a cheesecake before and read kitchen-horror stories about splitting cake-tops and water-baths flooding the cake pan. This cheesecake recipe, however, was simply perfect. It came out velvety smooth, rich, and nicely tangy. We are very proud.
