Red Velvet Cake not only looks good, it tastes good too!

Red Velvet Cake is perfect for those frosting lovers that are in the mood for something other than chocolate. The cream cheese gives it a rich taste that goes well with vanilla ice cream.

Try a recipe from below. The second one is a little unique since it's not actually a cake, rather "cake balls" covered in chocolate. Yuum!

This is pretty easy to make. It asks for packages of cake mix and pudding mix so you do not need to create this deluxe gift totally from scratch.

• 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 4 eggs
