Rainbow Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my nephew's first birthday and it was beautiful.


The frosting had some issues, but once you cut into the cake it was a lovely display of color.
And it was so easy! First, you make a simple white cake. (We used the boxed kind to save time) You split the batter into different bowls and add enough food coloring to get the primary and secondary colors:

Then you pour the batter into the cake pan, one a time, layering the colors on top of each other. Do not stir. Bake the cake as directed and let cool completely before frosting. Again, we used the store bought kind, but next time I think I would use a homemade cream cheese frosting... mmmmmm....

Enjoy!

I've had this bookmarked for a while, and finally made it for James' birthday yesterday. It turned out great! Thanks for the fun idea.
