just realized

I didn't update my rainbow cake post. The second cake turned out much better. It was for Audrey's 1st birthday. I am pretty sure she liked it....

the rainbow connection

So, here is my attempt at my first ever RAINBOW CAKE!! This blog is a work in progress, because the cake is in the oven at this very moment!! 04-10-09 @ 4:09 p.m.!

The gel food coloring is the bomb! I would ONLY recommend using this kind!


These are my rainbow colors in true Roy G. Biv Fasion!! (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo/violet)


Then you put them into their pans a little at a time. In the first pan put the colors in the order you want, and then do it in reverse in the other pan (cause you are gonna stack them). Also, don't swirl the colors in the pan..it ain't pretty! Here is my batter in the pan (just before the oven)

Here is a behind the scenes clean-up shot!

here is the frosting. it will look like a bright sunny sky once the cake is cut (we'll have to wait for Sunday dinner for that shot)



YEP - that was a big fat waste of time! The frosting was too runny and it ruined the cake...so alas I will try again tomorrow. Oh, not to mention my house is 100 years old and slopes like it's no one's business! Anyway...back to the ol' drawing board.

Here is a pic...the inside turned out to be too cute!
