Red Green Red Velvet Cake for Christmas

[Caribou]

In my continued obsession with baking red velvet cakes I made a special one for Christmas.
I took out a 3rd of the cake batter before adding the red dye and added green food dye to it.

I took a quick pic of the last piece, it's not the best because I wasn't using a serrated knife to cut it.
The cake was gone so quick, our friends brought their teenage sons and we aren't exactly light weight eaters either  :D

That looks very festive Carolyn.

Teenagers = food vacuums.

That's cool Caribou!

Now, how to get the lights on it ....    ???

Caribou - you are my hero!

The black food coloring is pretty cool and pretty strong.  I've used it a few years now to make designs in pancakes.  When you have to make a few hundred at a time - you find ways to make it fun for your helpers.

Carolyn made me make this one,  we have been talking about red velvet cake for awhile and I have resisted because it's sooooooo red.... but I caved and did the red & green thing....  the red layers are Carolyn's recipe & the green is cheesecake

Wait - did I read that correctly?  Cheesecake!!!!

I might have just fallen in love with another cake!  Does that make me appear fickle?   Wowzers!  Did you flavor the cheesecake any?

only the green layer was cheesecake,  it was only flavored green ;D   vanilla flavoring only,  I probably should have made it peppermint

Peppermint - red
Spearmint - green

Now that would blow some minds!
