Yesterday was my mother-in-law's birthday (well, actually today but yesterday was the party) and she wanted the red velvet cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. I took it upon myself to make one. It actually was not that hard. Several steps over two days and voila! a wonky sided (because I do not have one of those cake cutter things that even out a layer) red velvet cheesecake was born from my kitchen! It was pretty tasty but to be honest it was a brown-velvet cheesecake because I did not have enough red. The hardest part was shaving the white chocolate for the decorative topping. I have a feeling it may have been even more enjoyable for all parties had my 2 year old not blown chunks all over the birthday lady, her brand new upholstered dining room chair (seriously, had them for 1 week and this was the first day they were used) and carpet. Sort of dampened the birthday vibe. We all had to pause to clean up and it takes a while for the smell of hot-day-milk-barf to get out of ones nose. In fact, if I concentrated hard enough I do believe I could still smell it. Not good. Not good at all.
