Cut 6 strips of parchment paper to line your bowl. Pour in prepared red velvet cake mix. Place on a sheet pan then bake 350 F oven for 1 hour or until a wooden skewers comes out clean. Beat room temperate salted butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy then add powder sugar and vanilla extract. Mix on lowest speed then speed up after incorporated and beat 1 more minute. Once you cake has cooled, remove from bowl and peel off the parchment. Trim off a little from the right and left side then cut a line down the middle. Trim further if needed to resemble shape of a brain. Next add your frosting and spread on - coating the entire cake - this will be your crumb coat. Chill in fridge 30 minutes. Add your second layer of frosting and make sure to keep the distinct line down the middle. Return to fridge. Meanwhile, add in 1 drop red food coloring to 2 lbs of vanilla fondant - knead together until color is fully incorporated. Roll fondant into logs then strategically place on your cake making squiggly lines while keeping the brain halves separate. Brush on seedless raspberry jam. Chill until ready to serve.
