well, that's what my son thought! I'd love to be really good at decorating cakes, but I'm not. Add that to my list of things to learn.
We had a slew of people in our house this past week and I. asked if she could celebrate her upcoming birthday while her cousins and grandparents were here (she's no dummy).
We saw this cake on The Idea Room, and I knew that it was a cake I could do. You should go look at her pictures - they're way better. I have a stinky camera.
Boy, was it a hit!
The colors were vibrant, it was super tall.
Last night, the kids were figuring out all the different variations they could do for holidays. I used 2 white cake mixes and gel food coloring. Each layer only had to be cooked for 12 minutes, and even though I only had 2 round cake pans, it went really fast. I didn't tell any of the kids what was in the inside. It was pretty fun to cut open and have them see it! We'll definitely be doing this again.

Love that, I've seen it before as a "healthy cake" recipe, but I think two cake mixes sound much more delicious. So cute!
Very cute! I think that you did an awesome job!
That's adorable! Were the kids bouncing off the walls from the colouring?

Love this cake. Love the skittle rainbow!! Made the recipe with my boyfriend's daughter earlier this summer, but in cupcakes. We just put blobs of color in them, making each one different...kinda looked tie-dyed. They were a hit at our family bbq. I did a "decorate your own cupcake" bar. :)
