Red Velvet Cake and Cheesecake are two yummy treats to make. But have you ever tried to combine them together?? Well I have and have so far had to amazing treats come from it. The fun part of baking is combining things together and making new things (along with getting flour and sugar all over you and the kitchen lol). If it doesn't work you just try again.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Cookies was my first blending of the two treats together. I was a bit skeptical at first about how they would turn out (which is normal for a new recipe). But how could you go wrong with a soft yummy red velvet cookie with a gooey cheesecake filling in the center and drizzled over the top? You just cant! That first bite when they are fresh out the oven and still warm is enough to make you weak in the knees. Being chilled doesn't diminish them in the least. Also if you wanted something with a little chocolate these are great with chocolate melted and drizzled over the top in place of the cream cheese icing.
My latest creation is a red velvet and cheesecake cake. Now this is a bit different than the cookies being the cheesecake portion is not baking into the red velvet. It is more like two cakes in one. Its a red velvet cake with a cheesecake layered in the middle. You have the moist fluffy red velvet set off by the creamy cheesecake. It can either be covered with a cream cheese icing or the icing of your choice. I did mine with a vanilla icing as i was covering it with fondant and turning it into a "christmas present cake". The one pic is just the cake to show the layers and the other cake is the finished cake for those who may be curious. It was just a trial with the decorations to try out my home made fondant (post of that previous to this one).

I would have loved to taste that cake (without the fondant). It looks like a huge, double stuff, red velvet oreo. :) Yummmy!!!
