NICE, mama! Thank you! Wow...

And Cath- I hear ya on the red velvet thang... it's just that I want to like it- or at least like the idea of it! A cake like that ought to have an interesting history- but I just don't think there is one. Why can't someone at least make one up and say they discovered it in some old wooden trunk up in their attic along w/ their great-great-grandma's recipes and Civil War era sewing thimble collection? Ha!

I have a co-worker who is marrying in Sept. Her colors are red & white. Her flowers are red roses, and her dress is a "different" but beautiful white gown w/ some red on the torso and veil (sounds whacko, but trust me, it's lovely!). I talked her into having a red velvet wedding cake. She is actually originally from Louisiana too so I thought it'd be perfect for her! She couldn't believe she'd not thought of that before- neither could I! The good part is, she actually likes red velvet cake too. So it's a perfect fit for her.

Here's a link to Alicia's dress!

David's Bridal - Satin A-line with scalloped sweetheart neckline and beaded lace.

Oh my gosh that dress is absolutley beautiful, I love it!!!! Thanks for sharing with us Kevin. Do you remember a movie about a southern wedding called "Steel Magnolia's" I believe (my memory sucks) there was a red-velvet cake in that movie it was the grooms cake and was made in the shape of an Armadillo! I think you idea was great to add a Red-Velvet cake to her wedding!

I think that Mama's recipe would appeal to me more. And you know MamaM I couldn't think of anything more healthy to add than beets Yummy!!!!
