Re-creation of Emily's creation

Emily's creation of her strawberry cake inspired me to make a similar cake for my birthday. The exterior looks mostly the same, however the inside is a little different. After having red velvet cheesecake at a wedding I fell in love and knew that that is what I wanted to make for my bday.Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the inside, but here is the link where I got the recipe. The only change I would make would be to not use Martha Stewart's cheesecake recipe. Devastating, right? Usually Martha is fail proof, but I felt like her cheesecake was a little citrus-y for a red velvet.
