Rainbow Cake

Rainbow Cake Instructions 

(also fun to do as cupcakes)

By: Desireé Johnson

You will need:

White (or Yellow) cake mix and all ingredients

White frosting

Sprinkles

12 clear cups

6 spoons

7 knifes

primary colored food coloring

spatula 

Mix the cake according to the instructions on the box of the cake mix 
(the instructions for the "white" cake mix it best) the whiter the cake batter 
is the easier it is to get it to the color you want when adding the food coloring.

Pour equal amounts of cake batter into the 6 separate cups.

Add food coloring to the individual cups of cake batter till

they become the desired color.

In case you need to mix colors here is some help:

Small amount of Red = Pink

Red + Yellow = Orange

Blue + Yellow = Green

Blue + Red = Purple

The more drops of each color you add the darker

and brighter the color will become.

If you want pastel colors only add a couple of drops of color.

You can always add more and make it darker.

Grease and flower your cake pan.

Pour colored cake batter into the center of the cake pan
one cup at a time. Scrape all batter out with spatula.

Bake cake according to instructions on you box of cake mix.

Let cake cool. And tap it out of the cake pan.

Frost the cake with white frosting. 
Be sure to leave extra for coloring and decorating the cake.

Separate the remaining frosting into 6 (new and clean) cups.

Add food coloring to the frosting till it becomes they desired color.

Fill your cake decorating tub or bag with the colored frosting. 
Try not to mix them together.

Decorate your cake! Add sprinkles and what ever you want. Have fun!

 

My cake decorating tub isn’t that great. The colors mixed on the way out of
the tube and I didn’t get my desired “rainbow” effect.
(The color changed on the inside but the red stayed on the outside of my
frosting ribbon. The plunger in my tube is too small). I hope you have better luck.

 

This is how the cake looks on the inside when you cut it in half. 

It’s very bright and fun inside. Kids love it!
