LOL I'm so glad I'm not alone. Paula Dean just made one, and I'm interested to know what the flavor actually is like.

It's delicious - a little chocolatey. It's as if you mixed chocolate and vanilla together and made it red. Often they're very moist.
I wish I could have one for my wedding cake, but I don't think Rolling Pin does one. I'll have to ask.

If you're trying to get the authentic taste of it, don't buy the mixes you get in the supermarket, like Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines. They're nowhere near the real thing. . I made one from the box and was so disappointed cause i've had the real things many times. It's sooooo delish!!
