ROY G BIV

For this post it will be ROY G BV, I wanted to make a cake and since we were going to a friend birthday it was perfect timing.  This cake needed a special occasion for a few of reasons:  first, it is not hard, but it takes a while to make. Second, it is a lot of cake and I did not need it hanging around my house.  Third, it screams take me to a party.  This is not just any cake it is a RAINBOW cake.  It just makes people happy. 

Typically I am not one to venture into a multi-step, time consuming bake-a-thon but I REALLY wanted to make this cake.  I tend to skip over directions or cut corners and lose motivation but not this time though and the end result was worth it.  All you need is two white box cakes, follow the box directions, food coloring and white icing. 

 I only used six colors, so divided the batter into 1.5 cups with 1 teaspoon of coloring each.

Most important tip: use coloring found in the cake decorating aisle at Micheal's or Wal-mart, the drop kind of food coloring will not give a bold color.

Also, spray your cake pans really really well, you want cakes that come out like this

not this

but

icing fixed most of the mishaps.

It was totally worth the effort!

Enjoy.
