They're quite good.

Here's the funny thing: For years I've said red velvet is my favorite cake, but it turns out that I really don't have it very often and since learning my mom's chocolate cake recipe, my mom's cake wins--no contest.

However, this might be the most expensive cake (well, cupcakes) I've ever made.

3.5 sticks of butter
16 ounces of cream cheese

Alan likes to joke that I'm trying to kill him w/ all the baking I do (he's diabetic). Yesterday I joked that if I don't kill him I may put him in the poor house.
