Nannie's Birthday Cake

Mom and Dad came up the first few days of the month, due to some home renovations taking place in their house.

It also coincided with mom's birthday. After much deliberation, Noel and I decided upon a Red Velvet Cake. I found an amazing recipe on the joy of baking website, so we went with it.

It calls for mascarpone cheese and cream cheese in the icing (yum!). Unfortunately though, I could not find mascarpone cheese at our grocery store, so we substituted with plain cream cheese. It was still super delicious!
