Bobby Flay's Red Velvet Cake

A couple weeks ago, my friend Lenie and I made a Red Velvet cake. We made Bobby Flay's recipe, but there are tons out there and on www.foodnetwork.com
I never realized just how hard icing a cake was. I normally don't pay attention to icing details, but I've been watching the food network channel a bunch lately and it is making me want to be a cook, and a baker and TRY for perfection. It is really really hard though. I need one of those cool icing knives and a cake stand that spins.
Back to the cake...I do wish it was a little bit more red though. A fun fact I learned from making this cake is some people make the cake red by using beet juice or cabbage. Crazy huh!
While taking pictures of the cake, I sort of dropped the first piece on the floor. The single cake image is my second attempt and thankfully survived and was eaten all up immediately after its photo shoot.
