A GORGEOUS Rainbow Cake

I will occasionally be posting really awesome cooking recipes, photos, and reviews on my blog as well. One of the more recent baking recipes I have tried was a TieDye Rainbow cake for my friend's birthday. She LOVES bright colors, and so I decided to bake the most colorful cake EVER. I found the Rainbow Tie Dye Cake recipe online and found it was INCREDIBLY EASY to make. I changed the recipe from this site slightly. I didn't do the icing the same because I was cheap and didn't want to buy all the food gels.

Basically all you need is

• a store bought white cake mix (I used Pillsbury because it was on sale, but you can use any brand, or make your own)
• Food Coloring
• Icing
• Rainbow Sprinkles
• 2-8" round cake pans

You make the cake mix like the box says, but you split the batter into 6 equal amounts in 6 separate bowls. I just guesstimated, but if you want it to be exact, then you could measure it.
Then you dye each bowl of batter a different color of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple), mixing red and yellow for orange and red and blue for purple. I found that I needed about 20 drops or so to get a bright color.

Then you pour 3/4 of the batter of the first color (either red or purple depending on which side of the rainbow you wish to start with, I used red) and then slightly less of the following color and ending with 1/4 of the last color (which was purple for me). When you pour the batter in, just pour it in the center of the pan. When you add more colors it will gradually spread out.
Then in the second pan you start with the last color (which was purple for me) and add the remaining batter. Continue with each color (blue, green, yellow, orange, red).

Then just bake the cake like the box says.

For the icing, I used plain white icing and then COVERED the cake with Rainbow sprinkles.

I'll have to add some pictures of the cake I made. My camera was broken at the time, so I don't have any. However, my friend took some, so I post them when i see them.

This is the cake from the link I posted above, to give you an idea of what the cake would look like on the inside.
