I made it once, it was ok, but I had red food stain all over for weeks . However when  I say it was ok, Id never had it before, so had nothing to compare it too.

I wouldnt make one again

Well, that sounds delicious. I may have to print that out for my own use.

That sounds really good. I remember making a Red velvet cheese cake once that had actual Red velvet cake layers in with cheese cake layers and then frosted. It was really good also. I have no idea what happened to the recipe though. I just know my husband, who likes Red Velvet cake, really liked it.

I don't bake so I would not try it.

I've never had it but I love cheesecake so I would probably love it.
