I came across a cute tutorial for this Rainbow cake at http://www.onecharmingparty.com/. I decided to try and make it, I really enjoy baking things but they usually never turn out the way they are supposed to, or I forget about them and I end up burning them.
I totally surprised myself with this little creation today and although I was up late baking each layer, I think this will be my new Birthday Favorite!!!!!!
And no complaints from the little ones yet!!!!!!!
Although next time I will buy an extra packet of icing, I thought two would be enough but I think an extra one will do the trick!!!!!
Here is the Directions:
( I used 2 packets of Butter cake and divided into 5 bowls)
1. Divide your cake batter into 8 different bowls. Color each bowl of batter a different color. Bake each layer in a round pan. You will take turns using the pan over and over with each different color. Make sure to grease and flour your pan or put a round of baking paper in the bottom to prevent sticking. remember to cool your cake slightly before removing. Turn it out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
2. Once the cakes have cooled completely, freeze each layer individually wrapped in plastic. This will make it easier to assemble and frost the cake.
3. Once the cakes are frozen you can start layering your cake in a rainbow pattern, putting frosting in between each layer.
4. Frost the outside of the cake as well.
