Instructions

For Red velvet cake - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/southern-red-velvet-cake-recipe.html
Preheat the oven at 180 degree C. Grease and dust a cake pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In another large bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
Using a standing mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and a smooth batter is formed.
Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake until the cake pulls away from the side of the pans, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the sides of the pans. Let it cool completely. Credits - Southern red velvet cake, The Food Network.
Cream cheese mud -
Mix cream cheese, sugar and butter together till it is properly blended.
Assembly -
Place a red velvet cake on the dish. Cut out the inner portion of the second red velvet cake in order to make it look like a well and then place it on the top of the first red velvet cake.
Pour the cream cheese mud into the well of the red velvet cake.
Cover the outer bottom part of the well with cheese cubes, for giving the white tiles look.
Fondant pigs-
Make pigs out of the rolled fondant and place them on the cheese mud. The pigs were done as per the tutorial on the YouTube, as per the link given below. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=Jh-3BjdIVoU
With cream cheese in the piping bag, give the brick effect to the red velvet well.
Enjoy the piggie dance in the cheesy red velvet brick well!
