    I made this for someones birthday, and the cake is very good. what I do not like is the topping for the cake they recommend-it just taste too sweet, so what I did is made the regular icing I put on my red velvet cakes, and tweek it with some pecans and coconut, and ice all over. That's our taste, but I know everyone is different. I do not like to taste more sugar than I do cream cheese so that was my solution. Happy and tasty baking whichever way you go.....If it were not for the recommended icing topping I would give it a five, but because of that I gotta back it down a notch.....
