Why I Love This Recipe

The base is made out of Red Velvet Cake and the Cheesecake is a basic recipe. It was easy using the food coloring to make the top look like Tye-Dye. Everyone was amazed and thought that I must have bought it. It looked great (pictured above) and most importantly, it was delicious.

Make sure that you don't swirl the colors together too much or it will end up one yucky color. I found it easier just to glop it randomly and then just do two to three swirls. Also don't worry too much about your colors. My pink ended up orange (don't ask), but it still looked great. You could really be creative and use any 5 colors you wish. Maybe even changing it up with the season.

Recommendation:

The recipe calls for using half of the Red Velvet Cake and tossing out the extra. I hate wasting things, so I used the rest of the red velvet to make cupcakes. Also, the recipe calls for 1/2 of the cake mix for the base. It still made the base a little to large for me so I ended up with more

Red Velvet base then Cheesecake. I would go a little less then 1/2 the next time. Oh, yes, and there will be a next time.
