I know that this is probably a silly question, but really, what is it supposed to taste like? I never had red velvet cake, and someone asked for me to make one. I just baked Cakeman Raven's recipe, and wonder if that's what it's supposed to taste like. It looks good, seems most, smells a little like paint (must be 1 oz of coloring), taste fine, not like a wow, but good. It is still warm though so it may taste differently when it cools. I'm not a cake eater either, so if anyone ever made this recipe, can you tell me if it tastes right or should I go with something different. My 5 year old seems to like it, he is not a cake eater either, but the color may be too hard to resist for him
