    The cake is very tasty although the frosting is even sweeter than most frostings. I like the combination a lot anyway. It was a fun cake to make! I had never put the ingredients together like that before. I will definitely make it again and even experiment with different colors.

    This cake was a great addition to our Sunday family dinner. It was a little heavy but it was moist and flavorful. I like the twist on the cream cheese icing. It went on easily and tasted great, light and not as sickening sweet as some cream cheese icings can be.

    This turned out very very tasty! Definitely a step above your standard birthday cake! Very moist and the texture is definitely not dry or crumbly. The cakes frosted easily and there was just enough frosting with the recipe below. The only changes I made were omitting the coconut and pecans in the frosting, to accommodate the guests at my son's birthday party. This cake was a big hit! <Now, can I just say ... I'm always disappointed when I see reviews that say, "Can't wait to make it" or "Looks disgusting" and then they give it a star rating. ARGH!>

    I love red velvet cake, and I love blue. So I made a blue velvet cake (different recipe and it was delicious. BUT, two years later I still have not lived down, my blue velvet cake b/c... everyone poo'ed blue/green and had a heart attack. SO, if you make this, either use less food coloring (I only used one ounce in mine, use natural food coloring, or warn your guests...

    I love cake, velvet cake has become a recent passion of mine. Finding this recipe was interesting and while it was frustrating at times (making cakes from scratch is difficult for me, I'm a vanilla cake girl it was well worth it.

    The only thing I'm disappointed with is the cream cheese icing; I'm told (red velvet cake is constantly paired with cream cheese because it's such a good combination... well it sucks for those of us who can't stomach cream cheese!

    Instead I make a thick butter cream frosting or a honey icing glaze. Delicious combination with this cake and doesn't leave you feeling sick shortly afterwards!
