Ingredients
- White cake mix
- white frosting
- food colors
- colored gel frosting
Preparation
Step 1
Start by preparing a white cake mix.
Divide it into 6 bowls, and make each bowl a different rainbow color.
Line the bottom of two 9 inch cake pans with wax paper, and grease the sides.
Layer your cake batter in concentric circles.
Use about 3/4 of the bowl for your bottom color,
then use a little less of each color as you continue.
Layer your second cake pan in the opposite order.
Bake your cake as directed on the box.
Let the cake cool, then frost with your favorite white frosting.
(I put blue frosting in between the layers, just to add more color.)
Next, you need food coloring gel in your 6 rainbow colors.
Make concentric circles with the gel on the top of your cake.
( I started with red on the outside, and used it again when I got to the center.)
Time to make some cake art!
Using a small, flat paintbrush (new or only used for food),
start at the center circle and brush toward the outside of your cake.
You will need to stop and clean your brush a LOT!
Just wipe it on a paper towel.
Otherwise, the blue and green will overpower the other colors.
This is how I did it:
Red
Purple
Blue
(clean brush)
Green
(clean brush)
Yellow
Orange
Red
(clean brush)
Repeat the same process in the gaps between your "spokes".
Continue until all the white frosting is covered, and there aren't any gel blobs.
